LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
LANGUAGE AND CULTURE ARE INSEPARABLE
Language and culture cannot be separated. Language is vital to understanding our unique cultural perspectives. Language is a tool that is used to explore and experience our cultures and the perspectives that are embedded in our cultures.
- Buffy Sainte-marie
LANGUAGE IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY CULTURE
As cultures come up with new ideas, they develop language components to express those ideas. The reverse is also true, the limits of a language can define what is expressible in a culture (that is , the limits of a language can prevent certain concepts from being part of a culture).
LANGUAGE IS INTRINSIC TO THE EXPRESSION OF
CULTUREAs a means of communicating
values, beliefs and customs, it has an important social function and fosters feelings of group identity and solidarity. It is the means by which culture and its traditions and shared values may be conveyed and preserved.
