The Stuff of Thought (2007) is Steven Pinker's fifth science book in the collection of trilogies that explore language, the mind, and the human nature. It analyses language as a cognitive tool, and explores the deep complex relationship between an individual's perception of the world and different aspects of languages, such as words, grammar, and metaphors.
