Other varieties which develop due to the cultural pressure are: Pidgin and Creole. Here languages mixed up oddly that from morphemes to sentence structure everything reduces and mingles strangely. Most of the present pidgins have developed in European colonies. Out of these, many have developed as Creoles. Major difference between pidgin and Creole is that former has no native speakers but the latter has.
In fact, when any pidgin is acquired by children of any community it becomes Creole. At that time it develops its new structures and vocabulary. This proves that language and culture are complementary to each other. Language cannot live without society. Since sociolinguistics is based on language varieties. These varieties are due to cultural and social needs rather than Interlingua pressures. Even language of an individual varies from occasion to occasion.
Moreover it also varies due to socio-economic position of individual or group. This variation of language with social difference makes this notion more firms that language is social and cultural phenomenon and inextricably tied with social and cultural traditions. Does thought depend on language? Many psychologists believe that language dictates the way we think. Others say that it actually determines our ideas themselves - not only how we think but what we think.
Sapir claimed that we experience things because the language we use guides our very thoughts. An extension of this is that different languages guide their speakers in different ways - different language speakers not only speak differently, they think differently. Whorf: " Whorfian view Language provides a screen or filter to reality; it determines how speakers perceive and organize the world around them, both the neutral world and the social world. Consequently, the language you speak helps to form your world-view.
Both Sapir and Whorf worked extensively on American Indian languages and made important contributions to our knowledge of those languages and also to linguistic theory. The work most clearly relevant to the hypothesis was done in the s, towards the end of their respective careers, so their ideas represent the results of two distinguished lifetime devoted to the serious study of language and culture, and cannot be dismissed lightly.
On the other hand, it is not at all clear exactly what formulation of the hypothesis Sapir and Whorf would themselves have accepted, since neither tried to define any such hypothesis, and both changed their views radically ob relevant matters from time to time. Our extreme version of the hypothesis is a combination of extreme relativism with extreme determinism.
If we put these two claims together, we arrive at the conclusion that there are no constraints on the variation to be found between people in the way they think, especially in the concepts they form.
Brown and Lenneberg compared English with Shone from Zimbabwe and Bassa from Liberia and found that colours which have no name in the language are more difficult to recognise than those which do have a name in the language.
With language we can also learn something from the other people. Culture is the result of the creativity and thinking of each member in language community.
Culture that born from the individual and the community reflects the attitude and thinking of the society itself. Culture is derived from the Latin word Colere mean the process or work. Culture is very closely connected with the society. Malville J. Bronislaw Mlinowski Herkovits, suggested that everything contained in the society is determined by the culture of the society itself.
According the various definitions, we can make conclusion. Culture is the result of human thought which will affect the level of knowledge and the system of ideas contained in the human mind, so it make the culture is abstract. The manifestation of culture is such as behavior and real things, example language is human life equipment to communicate with other human beings or other living creatures.
Language and Thought Language in general can be interpreted as a symbol of the human vocal system that used as a tool for thinking, forming we are mind, and to understand the mind of the other person.
From this definition we can know the clear connection between language and mind. Language cannot be separated from thought.
There different statement from two group researcher. Frist group explain that language as the basis of thought. Second group explain that thought as basis of Language.
Both explain that the language affect to the thought. In other words, morebetters people to mastery language, better too the quality of thinking and to speak well. Accordingly this statement, thought is not something different from speech, but is actually a kind of speech that is not spoken aloud.
It is speech that controls what and how we think, thought does not control we say. Researcher studying children have found that the children understanding of speech is well in progress than their ability to produce it. We know the children understood what was said to them because they did what they were told to do-unusual acts of kissing a ball and smelling a truck, things they had never done before.
From this research, it can conclude that speech production is not basis of thought. They can learn to understand speech even though they cannot produce any. For example the case of a 3 years old Japanese girl who was dumb from birth but could hear and was normal in all other respects. The fact that she could respond correctly to a variety of complex commands proved that she could understand what was being said to her. In facts, while she has never had the ability to produce speech, she can think more creatively than a large majority of the speaking population.
Their wondering led to smith make himself injected with a curare-like drug which induces complete paralysis of the system such as the heart and digestive system continue to function under the drug. Smith had made a scientific point since while paralyzed he could in no way speak and could make only minimal bodily responses, it is clear that thought was not dependent on body movement or movements of the organs of speech, then it would indeed seem that speech-associated muscle movements are not necessary for-thought.
We often speak about one thing and about another at the same time. For example, Language may be used to provide us with new ideas, if you read some sentence, article, listening what other people said to us, etc.
This opinion is explained by Noam Chomsky. Since human is born, people have supplied with thought and language competence language competence. In other words, the basic language competence is innate by nature not as the result of a learning process.
The meaning that is to be associated with a sequence of speech sounds does not come with it, it must be acquired. Meaning for words is acquired in four main ways: 1. A sound form is associated with an object, situation or event in the world, e. A sound forms is associated with an idea or experience in the mind, e. An analysis of known component morphemes may suggest a meaning, e.
By a linguistic description definition or by linguistic context. So, the ultimate source of meaning is based on experiences of the world and mind, experiences which are of a non-linguistic nature.
It must be the case that thought, with its ideas and concepts, is created in the mind by a process, and that is independent of language. However, if you were to observe young deaf children playing in a playground, you would not notice much difference between them and ordinary hearing children. They are not animalistic creatures.
To help clarify this manipulate our thoughts in this respect, if preexisting point, politically correct and sexist language has been knowledge does not supply a foundation for general studied in order to understand whether this language understanding, the ways in which we define and determines the perceptions of the users.
And, in evaluate each individual encounter would be left solely spite of claims to the affirmative, it is not conclusive to linguistic knowledge. Nishida explains The ultimate goals of language education for both that when a person enters a familiar situation, they learners and instructors revolve around the acquisition retrieve a stock of knowledge of appropriate behavior of competency.
Hudson , pp. Understanding that languages and typically may use it and in what kind of occasion it is their cultures do possess relationships central to the appears to be typically used.
Our interpretations of acquisition of linguistic and cultural competency is our observations in life are guided by how we are able a good starting point for any approach to language to classify those experiences both linguistically and education. The creation and enforcement of an culturally. If we were In Japan, current methods of language education to verbalize this actual process, it would obviously appear to often assume a rather passive stance in be our language that would restrict how we would the incorporation of cultural knowledge into the express ourselves, but the fact that we are not able to classroom, taking a more FYI approach in the express every thought and feeling involved in every inclusion of cultural notes and tidbits in language situation does not imply that we lack those thoughts lessons.
Many teachers and students seem to lose sight and feelings. Since this type of process is encountered of the fact that knowledge of a grammatical system repeatedly in daily life, it might be oversimplistic [grammatical competence] has to be complemented by to assume that it is only language that restricts us culture-specific meanings [communicative or cultural from thinking a particular way.
We must assume competence] Byram, Morgan et al. Kramsch, , p. Their relationship would teachers, and possess the ability to experience and also serve best clarified and understood from the onset.
Frequently, Japanese foreign touch, smell, and see the foreign peoples and not just language instructors know little more of the actual hear their language.
Even beginning language learners culture of the language they are teaching than the brief are aware that there is more to language than grammar, facts that they so sparingly include in their lessons. This such as ethnographers would. If testing practices learners gain the ability to see beyond apparent case- are changed to reflect the need for linguistic and specific knowledge. They then realize the underlying cultural competency, public school language education processes which speakers of a language utilize to will be capable of the change needed to teach language produce and interpret communicative experiences, learners what it is to be socially competent language including unstated assumptions which are shared users.
Concluding thoughts For language programs, a language policy While there is no definitive conclusion to would best be implemented in the form of required exactly how language and culture are related, it is curriculum emphasizing the integrated study of evident through the linguistic choices that people language and culture. While the incorporation employ that a relationship exists. There is a need for of cultural learning would be an ideal constant in language learners to understand why people think and language policy, languages with restricted use such as speak the way they do, and to understand possible Esperanto would be realistically very difficult to attach agreements that may be in place between a culture to a culture.
