Hello all<br>
<br>
I was recently discussing the work of Steven Pinker with a colleague,<br>
and we talked about how one thing lacked by many PhD students in NLP<br>
is a broader understanding of language, outside of their chosen field.<br>
<br>
It was suggested that I ask this list the following question:<br>
<br>
What are some useful, broad and accessible overview books about<br>
language (specifically in English) that might be useful to a student<br>
of NLP wishing to broaden their horizons?<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any answers, or starting points?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
