''The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century'' (2014) is an English style guide written by cognitive scientist, linguist, and best-selling popular science author Steven Pinker. Building upon earlier guides, such as Strunk & White's ''The Elements of Style'' and Fowler's ''A Dictionary of Modern English Usage'', it applies science to the process of writing, and explains its prescriptions by citing studies in related fields - e.g., grammatical phenomena, mental dynamics, and memory load - as well as history and criticism, to "distinguish the rules that enhance clarity, grace, and emotional resonance from those that are based on myths and misunderstandings". Pinker's prescriptions combine data from ballots given to the Usage Panel of the ''American Heritage Dictionary'', the usage notes of several dictionaries and style guides, the historical analyses in ''Merriam–Webster's Dictionary of English Usage'', the meta-analysis in Roy Copperud’s ''American Usage and Style: The Consensus'', and views from modern linguistics represented in ''The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language'' and the blog Language Log. ==Contents==
