Why is so much writing so bad, and how can we make it better? Is the English language being corrupted by texting and social media? Do the kids today even care about good writing? Why should any of us care?
In The Sense of Style, the bestselling linguist and cognitive scientist Steven Pinker answers these questions and more. Rethinking the usage guide for the twenty-first century, Pinker doesn’t carp about the decline of language or recycle pet peeves from the rulebooks of a century ago. Instead, he applies insights from the sciences of language and mind to the challenge of crafting clear, coherent, and stylish prose.
In this short, cheerful, and eminently practical book, Pinker shows how writing depends on imagination, empathy, coherence, grammatical knowhow, and an ability to savor and reverse engineer the good prose of others. He replaces dogma about usage with reason and evidence, allowing writers and editors to apply the guidelines judiciously, rather than robotically, being mindful of what they are designed to accomplish.
Filled with examples of great and gruesome prose, Pinker shows us how the art of writing can be a form of pleasurable mastery and a fascinating intellectual topic in its own right.

财新杂志的主编王烁说：“我用中文写作，但我用英文学习写作。” 是的，中文作家喜欢两件事：1，凭天赋和感觉：“文章本天成，妙手偶得之”；2，凭苦功夫：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”。有天赋的人那么少，读破万卷书的人更加稀缺，可是每个人都要写作，应该怎么办？这个时候，...

用户评价
「獨孤九劍的要旨在於一個「悟」字，當通曉劍意後，則無所施而不可。便是全部變化盡數忘記，也不相干。忘記得越乾淨徹底，越不受原來劍法的拘束。而九劍各式乃以此令使劍者領悟劍意，練到一定程度就是真正的無招，達到劍術最高的境界了！」
评分身体力行
评分我：读过一本写作书读完发现完全讲的是写作习惯和写作的精神状态，没什么用... 写作老师：我知道有一本还在学校书店里被推荐，讲的是很模糊的东西，对，也有写作习惯什么的，没什么实质的指导，less useful。我：是叫Sense of Style??? 写作老师：对对对！原来你吐槽的也是这本啊！
评分不太懂语言树的那一张，不过仅仅从Pinker自己完美的风格中就已经能学到很多。
