The slight difference: Why language is a uniquely human trait

(Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences) Language makes us human. For a long time, scientists have been racking their brains about how we process what we hear and read. One of them is Angela D. Friederici, director of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. Thanks to her we know why only humans are able to understand language and Chomsky's idea of an innate universal grammar must be correct. Now her book, "Language in Our Brain" is published.
