Anteprima della tesi: Relationship Between Language and Culture

Relationship Between Language and Culture Introduction Language is a part of culture, yet it is more than that. It is central to culture since it is the means through which is most of culture is learned and communicated. As we shall see below when a group begin to lose its language, its cultural tapestry starts to unravel. Infants learn the language and simultaneous acquire the culture of the society into which they are born. Only humans have the biological capacity for language, which allows them to communicate cultural ideas and symbolic meanings from one generation to the next and to constantly create new cultural ideas. The capacity for language separates humans from other primates. In any language, an infinite number of possible sentences can be constructed and used to convey an infinite number of cultural ideas.

A language is part of a culture and a culture is part of a language; the two are intricately interwoven so that we can not separate the two without losing the significance of either the language or the culture.
