The language myth. why language is not an instinct, paperback/vyvyan (bangor university) evans

Language is central to our lives, the cultural tool that arguably sets us apart from other species.

Some scientists have argued that language is innate, a type of unique human instinct pre-programmed in us from birth.

In this book, Evans argues that this received wisdom is, in fact, a myth.
