This document discusses the relationship between language and culture. It argues that language is central to culture, as culture is transmitted orally through language. Understanding another culture's subtle meanings requires knowledge of its language. Different languages reflect different ways of categorizing the world and processing information. As cultures see the world differently, their languages express different beliefs and values. Language influences thought processes and is integral to cultural identity.

Revised and edited for the essay language and identity
Language is an essential tool that humans use to communicate with one another to express
themselves, to construct their identities, and communicate with one another and other people.
Even those folks may find a means to interact with others worldwide using the many languages
available. The impact of language on identity formation and development is a fascinating topic
widely explored by scholars across various fields. One of the most interesting things about
language is that people can easily understand communication from person to person.People can
explore this issue thoroughly to gain a deeper understanding of its complexities. It is a powerful
language that many people have behavior problems. This culture can be complicated about
personal identity and influence the words that come out to the generation of making my
individual experiences. Language changes my impacts on identity formation and development in
multiple ways, including self-expression, cultural heritage, and social acceptance
First, language could change the impacts of identity formation and development which helps
self-expression. Language is a tool for expressing our thoughts and emotions. It enables us to
communicate our ideas and feelings effectively. Occasionally, people want to behave in a certain
way as a linguistic of the conception in a spoken word. As Anzaldua states, "Language is
identity. I am a language" (31). This quote shows that if people speak the language, they express
themselves with emotions. Individuals can reflect their own style of language if they have one.
While I reflect on some of the languages to practice with cultural values. The reflection concerns
the group identity of fosters and solidarity, but the culture is expressed through language. People
who speak languages use their languages to signal their identities and symbolize their identities
discovering what they are learning about for self-expression of showing the communication for
identities. I would be learning new languages to engage in social interaction with individual
friends. When we learn a new language and cultural ways, we can shape our worldview and
identity. Language can promote creativity and imagination by giving opinions about sharing
thoughts or feelings. The risk of language extinction is real for many minority languages;
however, not all languages are valued equally. At the same time, language is also a tool for
discrimination and exclusion. Some groups can be marginalized and harmed through the creation
of barriers and the perpetuation of stereotypes. As a result, language can change the impact of
my identity by expressing and allowing people to belong in their communities.
Next, language could change the impacts of identity formation and development to connect with
having a cultural heritage. For many people, their language is integral to their identity and
culture. It can be a source of pride and a way to show their conn.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

The Importance Of Language And Culture

The Importance of Language and Culture
Diana Everett

Instructor Terrance Frazier
April 04, 2011
The Importance of Language and Culture
There are two forms of communications––verbal and non–verbal. Nonverbal communication is usually understood as the process of communication
through sending and receiving wordless messages. Language is not the only source of communication, there are other means also. Messages can be
communicated through gestures and touch, by body language or posture, by facial expression and eye contact. Meaning can also be communicated
through object or artifacts (such as clothing, hairstyles or architecture), symbols, and icons (or graphics). Speech contains nonverbal elements known as
paralanguage,...show more content...
Language is more than just a means of communication. It influences our culture and even our thought processes. Language is arguably the most
important component of culture because much of the rest of it is normally transmitted orally. It is impossible to understand the subtle nuances and deep
meanings of another culture without knowing its language well. Different languages are easier to learn at a younger age before completely
understanding a first language. Trying to learn a second language can be difficult for an adult, because the language they speak can confuse them while
trying to learn. Different languages come from different backgrounds and when crossed can lead to great misunderstanding between the two languages.
Anthropologists have found that learning about how people categorize things in their environment provides important insights into the interests,
concerns, and values of their culture(Oneil, 2006). Language determines the way a person reviews the world. One's culture determines the way one
processes information and how one copes with reality. Concepts and objects have frames of reference that differ from culture to culture. The meaning
of a word partly depends on the culture's historical relation to the concept or object described. Different cultures see the world differently. Different
cultures have different beliefs and values and these are expressed in their language, whether it be verbal or non–verbal. Many misunderstandings

Anthropology 310
21 February 2015
Topics in Language and Culture To gain a deeper and more complex understanding of cultures around the world it takes more than just knowledge of
norms and practices. The interplay between language and culture consists of a multitude of factors of which three stand out above the rest. Nonverbal
communication, bilingualism, and differences in communication among genders are intrinsically connected across cultures in such a way that cultures
influence language structure in line with cultural norms, and language, in turn, influences cultural norms, creating a cycle by which both language and
culture are mutually reinforced. Since time in memoriam, culture has...show more content...
Males yank their heads up and back in order to greet another male usually which may be misunderstood to look up. Both males and females are
also prone to use a lot of physical contact with their friends and family members such as through the use of arm grabbing or kisses on the cheek.
Most Latinos also avoid direct eye contact for long periods of time because prolongs eye contact sends the signal that you are attracted or want to
fight. Latinos also yell out a sound called the "huaco" to celebrate the ending of a great song or good part of a song which came about from living
near coyotes.
It's very important in sports culture for the coach or the trainer to be in the same mind set as the athlete, that is, to use the same nonverbal and verbal
cues to successfully communicate during a game. Athletes communicate nonverbally through their posture and facial expressions to send out the signal
that they are tired or to demonstrate their confidence levels. Coaches also communicate nonverbally to their players that they are doing well or doing
poorly. During games, nonverbal communication is essential for pulling off plays such as in basketball where an ally–op is performed by interpreting
nonverbal signals between a teammate and the opposing players. In American football nonverbal signals are interpreted between the

4. Language and culture are inseparable. Language is the most distinct feature of a culture and the most common one put to use to identify a culture.
Language can be a part of a culture and culture can be a part of language as well. For the purposes of this research paper, we deal with only the
former. Language has been called a mirror to the culture it belongs to. Studies of different culture begin with acquiring of knowledge about its language
before anything else. Language is not merely a mode of communication; it is the reflection of its culture. Being the most recognisable and distinct part
of a culture, the condition of a language suggests the condition of the culture as they shape each other.

This lack of programmes that can effectively translate knowledge into curriculum is a hindrance in both the development of languages and education.
However, to develop language resources into curriculum, State needs to recognise the importance of the dying languages. It is important for a holistic
education to develop more materials in regional languages and bring them into mainstream usage so as to not let them die. This gives rise to a bigger
problem. If primary, secondary and higher education is in a regional language, a student would face a lot of difficulties at college level because the
popular means of communication there would be English. However, this separation is not limited to education. It exists in the society generally as well.
Language is basic to all human processes. Hence, preservation or protection of languages can be divided into three parts– identity based arguments,
justice based arguments and diversity based argument.
Identity based argument leads us to the idea that language is vital to one's identity, the identity of his or her culture and the identity of his or her being.
A person identifies with his or her mother tongue the most. And when one finds speakers of the same language, they form a small community in

5. Language : Language And Language
Language in society is constantly being spoken in several different ways–whether that consists of speaking in different languages, or communicating
differently when speaking and writing. Furthermore, language is often described as words used to communicate amongst others around you. As you
become older, you quickly realize that language comes with much more than words. Many languages; if not all, have several different dialects–some to
the point where the words can't be recognized whatsoever. Consequently, it's not only important to recognize the innumerable different forms of
language varieties, but to understand what language varieties you command in different daily situations.
Foundation of My Language
Language and language identity has played significant role in my life. Growing up, I have gone through countless different experiences of how
language identity has influenced me regarding my form of communication. My parents were both born in the United States of America– both growing
up in Tacoma, Washington. Within the mist of growing older, I would replicate how my parents would speak and pronounce words. This ultimately
became my foundation for learning how to communicate with others–better yet, my guide to learning how to speak English. Though there is a plethora
of different native languages individuals can identify themselves with, English has been a very difficult conundrum to solve throughout my life. Many
people around the world can identify a native tongue to

6. Language And Cultural Identity
As an Asian–American I grew up surrounded by my culture, food, and religion, but one thing I didn't grow up and learn about was the language.
Soon after my parents forced me into Vietnamese school around the age of 7 or 8 I grew to hate that place. The long summer hours wasted by sitting
in a classroom understanding nothing made me constantly complain to my parents. "I never want to come back here again" " Why are you making
me do this?!" I would say. My parents couldn't handle the teachers or me anymore so they decided to not enroll me the next year.Language is truly a
connection with cultural identity and I wish I didn't miss out. The renowned writers; Martin Espada and Richard Rodriguez worked on essays that
shared their own...show more content...
Even though English caused his family to go their own ways, Rodriguez didn't dwell on the fact that they weren't as close anymore; he accepted
speaking and gradually learning English because it helped in his everyday life, " Conversations became more content full" (23). Understanding and
stepping out of the stagnant progression and slowly dropping Spanish has benefitted Rodriguez by embracing the public language which is English.
On both ends of the spectrum Espada and Rodriguez use their work to explain their views on bilingualism and how it affected their lives and other
peoples. Rodriguez loses his cultural connection with his family because of English and Espada is empowered by his connection with his Latino
heritage. Both men chose to take different paths of bilingualism and each one gained and lost cultural identity. Espada's argument explains how not
fighting for one's language creates a downfall with their cultural identity and Rodriguez's elaborates the endless possibilities people have when
knowing how to speak English. Espada and Rodriguez, although on two different sides, both contribute logical arguments which go full circle and
connect with one another on how losing interest in the native language can cause the connection to cultural identity to weaken. In my own personal
experience when I was younger I was embarrassed that I was one of the oldest people in my class. Since I was older I felt incompetent to the other
kids, and I started

7. Language Change As Cultures And Society Change
Language and expression change as cultures and society change. As the world progresses with developments of new technology and communication
devices, language and expression grow with it. These changes in language assist in advancing society with new methods and devices for
communicating. These new ways to communicate aid in the development of words for new technologies and discoveries. The development of new
words enhances and improves communications with people around the world. Although language and expression are changing and expanding and
bringing many positive improvements to the language because of new inventions, there are also many negative effects on language and expression of
ideas. People become lazy with their use of language and forget how to properly use certain words and expressions. The improper use of words in
context derails the meanings of words and alters their original usage. Along with these changes, there are people who both accept the changes and
people who work to keep the language from expanding. Progress and modernization promote the growth and expansion of language and expression
worldwide; however, this growth causes many to misuse the formal techniques of language. Language is moving forward and changing with the aid of
modernization and technological advancements. These advancements are beneficial to communication throughout the world. The use of the internet,

Hybels and Weaver stated "cultural differences may not only facilitate communication, but it can also avoid potentially embarrassing or even insulting
situations." (p. 222, 2007). Although these stories about language and culture in business may sound comical, one can see how the wrong language
translation in a business transaction can cause a company to lose time and money.
According to Hybels and Weaver culture information "tells us about a person's most generally shared cultural attributes such as language shared values,
beliefs, and ideologies, can be very beneficial during business transactions." Furthermore, one should learn about the economy of a specific culture
before business transaction takes place. (p. 169, 2007)
A business can lose capital if they do not get enough information about a culture before investing their product in a foreign country. For instance, a
company may assume that United States breakfast cereals will be a lucrative idea to Latin American. But, in a culture where most of the citizens live
in poverty, and is fortunate if they can afford one daily meal, breakfast cereals may be destined to be unsuccessful because it is expensive. (1997)

Similarly, Banks (1988,), define "a cluster of attributes such as values, beliefs, behaviour patterns and symbols unique to a particular human group" p.
261. Both researchers have similar identical analyse to express their study towards culture and identity. Furthermore, Goodenough considers culture as
is made up of the concepts, beliefs, and principles of action and organization. In fact, culture is not a motionless object, but instead it has the power to
acquire new traits and forms. Culture transformation can occur from one generation to another or from one geographical location to another. This
means that culture is composed of shared custom, believes, codes of behaviours and statements that could clearly discriminate from sociocultural group
to another.
In view of all this, Anthropologist and social scientists essentially agree that sharing a culture between a crowd of people means being able to operate
efficiently in that group. This means that culture can determine one's identity if a person is able to operate effectively in a certain group. In addition to
this, social scientist has urged that changes in languages often reflect as the changing value of our culture. This clearly indicates that, language is more
than a culture which means the language you speak determines your religious belief and cultural identity. So, religion and language are both

processing since thousands year ago.
Culture is characteristic of many fields such as literature, linguistics, and, history, etc ... In the generally, the existent products such as language, was
associated with human creativity, which all are regarded as products of culture. Language and culture have an organic relationship. This inner
relationship is formed from one of the most important functions of language, that of thinking. Marx once said, "Language is a direct reality of thought."
Without language, people can not think. In other way, all human think that activities are performed on the language. Language is the most important
communication tool of human as well as the thought function and there is no empty thought. Language is always involved in both tangible and
intangible cultures. Language expression is very different. The relationship between language and culture system is the inner relationship between
them. This relationship is only revealed when we analyze the role and function of the language as it engages in the process of forming a particular
tangible cultural product. In this respect, language is not only a tool of thinking, a soul for the creation of cultural objects but language is also a means
of preserving information, spreading the experience from the generation. The result of this process is an

12. Language Influence On Culture
Every culture is different from their value orientations to the language they speak. The different languages each culture speaks is more than just a
form of communication for these cultures, language influences cultures in multiple ways. Language affects the social reality of a culture and due to
that many cultures are different in the way they view things. How can language affect a culture in such a big way? Well, each cultures language is
not the same, therefor each culture will not have the same words in another culture or they will not translate over. The Japanese have multiple words
for the word "rice" and the Russians have multiple terms for the shades between light blue and dark blue. This has an impact on the culture because the
language they have allows them to have multiple words for words that other cultures only see one way. Another example of how language affects a
culture is that while some cultures use direction terms like, "left" or "right"; others do not have those terms in their language so they would not
understand those directions. They would need someone to direct them by using "north, south, east, or west" to understand where to go (Boroditsky,
2010). Languages can be a future tense language or futureless language. A futured language is when discussing the future grammatically the language
forces the person to separate the future and present as two different things. While a futureless language refers to the future and present identically.
These two difference forces languages to views things in a certain way which can cause the futureless language to save more and to being starting
something sooner because they do not see the future and present as two different things. All these factors of language all do one thing to a culture, it
affects is social reality (Chen, 2012). The Chinese culture speaks two languages but the one being focused on is Mandarin. While Mandarin is one of
two languages spoken within the culture, two–thirds of Chinese people claim to speak it. Mandarin is referred to as an independent language but can
be classified as a dialect of Chinese culture. Mandarin is a member of the Sinitic Group of the Sino–Tibetan language. It is considered a tonal language

The Issue of Languages and Dialects
One of the most important elements all cultures possess is the language which represents each one . Language is of vital importance to people's lives,
since it is a way of communicating with others. Language also offers people the ability to create and maintain relationships with others. Each language
includes numerous varieties, named dialects. Languages and dialects have some main differences and the distinction of their boundaries is considered
to be a difficult issue.
First of all, we should illustrate what exactly is meant by the terms 'language' and 'dialect'. The term language is used to describe a system of
communication, which people use to exchange...show more content...
A language may be the official language of various countries; for instance, English is the official language of the United Kingdom, of Ireland and of
Australia, which are colonies of the England. So, languages are not strictly limited to a specific area. Dialects are unique in the sense that each
language includes dialects that have their own characteristics and ways of speaking that are totally different from other dialects existing in the same
country. Each dialect is constructed and developed based on the history and the culture of each region. One more difference of the terms is the number
of people who use a language and those who speak a dialect. If we examine the Greek language, there are approximately twelve million native speakers
of the language, compared to the Cretan dialect where its speakers should be around six thousands (the population of the island). Another difference
worth mentioning is the fact that dialects are more established, whereas languages can evolve and become simpler for their speakers. There are
various words that have changed in different languages in order to provide their speakers a simpler alternative. For instance, the Greek word train has
changed from the old form 'П„ПЃО±ОЇОЅОї' to the new one 'П„ПЃООЅОї'. This change was very beneficial for Greek citizens and especially young
children because the vowel 'Оµ' is more easily used than the vowel 'О±О№'. Last but not least, the way that dialects and languages are taught is
considerably different. The standard language of each country is taught in schools and through the educational system in general, whereas dialects are
mostly passed orally from one generation to the next; teachers do not teach their students their languages based on the principles of their

Some businesses are trying to expand their markets to gain advantage of such process; however, the use of English by entrepreneurs from the United

This meant that there were going to be people from different nations, and with different languages working together. An example of this is the
European Central Bank, which will be in charge of the central banks of the 15 nations when the Euro begins circulating in the continent. The
Governing Council and the Executive Board of the ECB is formed by individual from the EU nations and the only way for them to communicate with
each other is by using a language that is common to all of them; in this case English.
But countries in Europe are not the only ones trying to improve communications for their people; China can also be a good example. In a country with
more than 1.5 billion habitants, the number of languages or dialects might differ within regions; therefore, the government is establishing the mandarin
language as their lingua franca to improve communications internationally with Singapore, Taiwan, and other Asian countries. (Ojala, 1997, p. 8)
The second major factor that has and still is playing a major role in the spread of the English Language is Technology with the continuous advancement
of the communication systems.
One of these methods is the World Wide Web

15. The Importance Of Language On Culture
Pamela Wance
ENGL 1010–48
10/25/2017
The Way We Speak Language is the universal connection that brings all humans together. We share this common ground to communicate. The three
major points that I would like to focus on are: How does language influence our culture? Does it define us, or does it refine us? And lastly, the impact
that language has on our societies. Language has gradually advanced over many millions of years. Slang has developed, and other cultures languages
and quirks have made their way in, and it has become one. Language has a way of shaping our identities, and personal cultures. It brings us together,
and sometimes it even makes us move apart.
There has been a long debate on whether language has an impact on cultures, and with much research from linguistic specialist, and professors the
debate has been solved to say that, yes, in fact that language has an impact on cultures. In an article called, "Does Language influence culture?"
Johnathan Becher makes a statement about how differences in each language seems to impact the behaviors, and how everyone interprets their
surroundings. It is amazing how simple language comes off to be, and yet it can be so advanced. It impacts each culture differently; Johnathan Becher
said that the way Russians express colors is more advanced than most others. They can express the difference between light blues, and dark blues in a
very descriptive way. The extensive details can be results of each culture being

going to be presented as a mean to explore the close relationship between culture and language and determine what is understood as culture in this study.
As it was mentioned above, there are different definitions of culture. These views have relied on the different language acquisition theories and teaching
approaches that have emerged in the history of foreign language teaching. (Hinkel, 1999) Until the mid–twentieth century, culture was seen as the
transmission of factual information about the target language, which consisted of statistical information about history, literature,...show more content...
Therefore this attempt to integrate culture into language teaching failed due to their lack of relevance for the language teaching approaches of that
time. (Stern, 1983; Corbett, 2003)
During the 70s and 80s, research on anthropology and sociolinguistics caused a greater emphasis more on the relationship between culture and
language. Hinkel (1999) considers the works done by Hymes (1964), Gumperz (1972) and Kaplan (1966) a great contribution to this relationship as
they privileged the communication within the cultural context. He cites Hymes (1972) mainly to state that the nature of the situations when
communicative acts occur differs from one culture to another. This indicates that culture is interconnected with the ability to communicate
appropriately in different social situations. This approach to culture teaching, therefore, implied to train students on how to employ appropriately the
social rules of the target language such as the use of behavioral conventions, the use of silence, turn taking and politeness among others. (Byram &
Morgan, 1994). This approach was criticized because it seems to be based on native proficiency as a standard model for foreign language students. In
other words, foreign students need to leave aside their own culture and language in order to be considered proficient speakers of the target language.
This means that this approach does not consider the cultural

17. Cultural Diversity, Language, And Culture
Introduction
An enormous scale of migration has resulted to unprecedented stages of diversity in Europe, in particular in Germany, altering societies in fundamental
ways and challenging the idea of national identity that is closely held by the host nation. Furthermore, the vast majority of the publics are in great fear,
that the shared values and norms that ties communities together will be enfeebled permanently if migrants do not adapt to the host country's culture,
language and its identity. In this particular essay, it would critically examine cultural diversity and the challenges that both parties encounter due to
their substantial differences in culture, language values and etc.
Challenges of Cultural Diversity
The current wave of immigration that have stormed in Europe, especially in Germany has created a tension and an anxiety within the German people.
Immigrants are viewed as a threat in the labour market, a threat to the historical heritage of the German people and exploiters of welfare state. As a
consequence, migration has extensive effects on the structure of national identity in Germany that bonds communities together (Scherr, A 2014). The
vast influx of immigrants presents a greater challenges to those majority who might also be obliged to reconcile a new ethnic and culture perception
with their social reality. According to (French 2012, p. 22) illustrates that the collective encoding of the mind that differentiates one particular group

we have to have an understanding of the elements in question and this come into force when the relationship between culture and language is discussed.
Language has been defined as the systematic, conventional use of sounds, signs or written symbols in a human society for communication and
self–expression. The purpose of language is to communicate with others, to think and to create the foundation for shaping one's standpoint and outlook
to life. Culture on the other hand has multifarious meanings but for the sake of this article, the definition outlined below will serve our purpose. Culture

Teachers have encountered difficulties when teaching a second language not local to a culture to its people and here are some facts to explain these
difficulties. Studies have shown that how students learn and interact with teachers is determined by their culture. Approximately 80% of language
teachers agree that cultural boundaries and roots play a huge role in determining how students understand or interpret the new language expressions
they are been taught. Therefore, creators of second language policies must be sensitive to the local culture of all people. Culture and language of
different societies greatly vary. In all communities, the language is in a synergetic relationship with the culture of that society and Sapir–Whorf
hypothesis states that; the characteristics, peculiarities, and literary words encoded in one language system are distinctive, typical, and unique to that
system and they are dissimilar as well as incomparable with those of other systems. These dissimilarities in turn lead to difficulties in understanding the

When looking into the world the question has always came about, what comes first the chicken or the egg. This questions has never been answered
because of the simple fact that they are strongly connected with each other. Language and Culture have been at the fore front of research for
anthropologist. The question remains, how strong is the connection between the two. Through many readings and research, there has not been a set
conclusion to this ongoing discussion. A child is born into this world and the first things he learns are experiences, later on life through school and
education he is able to learn a language to describe everything he has previously seen or felt. In this writing I intend to prove that Culture and Language
are strongly related. Culture creates an experience and language is then formed to explain that experience to others. In this essay I intend to show the
strong relationships between language and culture. With many different cultures surrounding us today it is impossible to understand a culture without
breaking down the linguistics they speak. Language is the system we use for communication. Communication is one of the key components in the
preserving of the traditions and customs of people around the world. Having an established language we begin to develop an idea of ethnocentrism
which is the idea that your culture is superior to others. When growing up as a child I can remember mispronouncing words in my parent native

way we communicate and not much more. However, as any anthropological reader knows, it goes far deeper than that. One of the many other
aspects of language is that it causes people to be brought together. A lot of international freshman tended to congregate with people from their own
country when they first arrived at the University of Michigan, partially because they felt more comfortable speaking their native tongue and felt a
sense of similarity in their group. This can be seen in any place where diverse groups of people are thrown together. It provides a sense of home, a

Also it seems he is capable in a decent amount of languages and could get a translator if he truly required it. The theme of language in these two
novels can be seen through the ethnographers (in)ability to get an emic view from the locals, how it affected the people's behaviour, and perhaps
most importantly, how it affected the ethnographer's and people's emotions through the various situations that occurred. For ethnographers, being
able to communicate with the particular population that they are studying is crucial. This is more so apparent with Fernea, as not only was she
ignorant of the language and customs but while honeymooning in Iraq she was constantly separated from her husband. This becomes obvious very
early on when she attempts to indicate that the beams in Selma's house were the same as hers by pointing at them, unable to even get across this
simple conversational tidbit (Fernea 1965:30). Though her crowd reacts favorably by laughing, as the beams are the same in every house around
the village, it is a subtle moment of foreshadowing to just how little she knows about the culture in the village. This forewarning is noticeable
mainly after she makes a particular blunder much later on in the book. Fernea was invited to go on a small ride by Aziza while her friend Laila
happened to be visiting. Aziza insisted that Laila come along, as not doing so would be impolite, and Laila claimed that the ride would be of no issue
