In The Language Instinct (1994), Steven Pinker presents a powerful and optimistic vision of human nature, arguing that the ability to acquire and use language is not merely a cultural invention but an innate biological gift, an instinct shaped by evolution. He reveals that every human being is born with a “language faculty,” a mental blueprint that allows children everywhere to effortlessly learn the complex rules of grammar and communication without explicit instruction. This idea transforms how we see ourselves: language is not a privilege of education or intellect, but a universal birthright that unites all people in the shared act of meaning-making. By understanding language as a natural instinct, we come to appreciate the deep commonalities that bind humanity together, fostering empathy, curiosity, and respect for the diversity of tongues and cultures that express our shared mind. On a personal level, this insight reminds us that communication is central to wellbeing. It connects us, empowers us, and helps us make sense of the world, while on a societal level, it underlines that nurturing language, education, and dialogue is essential for building understanding, cooperation, and peace. Behind the psychology of language lies a spiritual dynamic that is often little recognised. God the creator of communication, has gifted humanity with language, and His Spirit is able to inspire the speaking of any tongue. In the New Testament book of Acts we read that, "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance' (Acts 2:1-4).
