Whether it s brusque, convincing, fraught with emotion, or dripping with innuendo, language is fundamentally a tool for conveying meaning a uniquely human magic trick in which you vibrate your vocal cords to make your innermost thoughts pop up in someone else s mind. You can use it to talk about all sorts of things from your new labradoodle puppy to the expansive gardens at Versailles, from Roger Federer s backhand to things that don t exist at all, like flying pigs. And when you talk, your listener fills in lots of details you didn t mention the curliness of the dog s fur or the vast statuary on the grounds of the French palace. What s the trick behind this magic? How does meaning work?In "Louder than Words," cognitive scientist Benjamin Bergen draws together a decade s worth of research in psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to offer a new theory of how our minds make meaning.
