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.
Steven Pinker is the Harvard College Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and the winner of many awards for his research, teaching, and books, he has been named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World Today and Foreign Policy's 100 Global Thinkers.
由语言学家和认知心理学家写的(英文)style guide,感觉比较适合理性派思维的人阅读。并不是无端列举一大堆写作规则和建议,而是有组织地讲解行文、段落和句子的结构,最重要的是所有分析都有从语言、逻辑、心理学等方面的道理可循。特别是书前半部分感觉可以抽空再仔细读一下做一些笔记,后面部分关于一些具体用词、标点之类的就有点琐碎了。原本是为了改善自己的 academic writing skill 来读的,自己觉得收获不少,但是真正 improve 还是得需要多多练习写作吧。
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。
评分看了两遍,我找他的文章做了个简单对比,他自己平时就是那么写文章的

一,专家们常常陷入两个思维误区。 1.「功能固着」 对事物功能的刻板印象,就是「功能固着」。 2.「知识的诅咒」——你掌握了一种知识,你就不能理解,那些没有掌握这种知识的人,他们是怎么想的。 二,古典风格——模仿了对话的姿态。 1.所谓模仿对话的姿态,是作者在写文章时...
评分古典风格的主导隐喻,在于读者的对话中,作者将读者的视线引向世界之中的某物。使写作这件不自然的事变成我们做起来最自然的两件事:说与看。我们和朋友交谈,过程都是轻松自然的。因为和朋友交谈是为了让他们理解我们,你的语言轻松有趣,言之有理,自然朋友会高兴和我们交谈...
评分一直想读这本比较新的写作指导,但一直没找到中文版,今年(2016.3.8)出了一本繁体中文版《寫作風格的意識》,也很难买到。所以十一放假期间就索性读了英文原版,发现了很多读原版书的乐趣。 这虽然是一本指导写作的书,但讲了很多写作技巧背后的认知原理,这些原理不仅可以用...
