Cases of savants, like Christopher who is described here, are not unheard of, but have never been reported before. Despite being unable to look after himself because he has difficulty with everyday tasks, Christopher can read, write, translate and communicate in fifteen to twenty different languages.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this original, detailed and wide-ranging study, Neil Smith and Ianthi-Maria Tsimpli not only provide insight into the mind of one unique individual, but simultaneously cast light on the nature of language and thought in general. By exploiting recent developments in both linguistics and psychology the authors have made an essential contribution to the whole field of cognitive science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Smith, Ianthi-Maria Tsimpli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0631190171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780631190172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Neil Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250444226815,"sku":"9780631190172","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d244009-6389-49e9-a638-015c82fd459f.jpg?v=1729600338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mind-of-a-savant-neil-smith-9780631190172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
