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.

......It’s about getting it right.

评分請看我的文章：http://www.yangzhiping.com/psy/pinker.html
评分winter break第七本書：雖說每隔兩分鍾就要查下詞典，但這本書給瞭我很多寫作上的絕佳建議。而且Pinker那種又嘲諷但是又很嚴肅的語氣讓我邊看邊哈哈大笑。要找找Pinker的academic article細讀纔行。
评分不太懂語言樹的那一張，不過僅僅從Pinker自己完美的風格中就已經能學到很多。
