A culture can be defined as the growth of a group identity fostered by social patterns( of behaviours, interactions, cognitive constructs and understanding etc.) unique to the group. In general, a culture encompasses many aspects including art, food, heritage, apparel, religion, marriage, music, and language. Looking ahead, at first, in the lines to come, I will discuss culture from a linguistic point of view and shed afterwards, some light on other means of distinguishing cultures, later in this essay.
As a matter of fact, language plays a vital role in the identification of a culture. Firstly, there are different connotations for the same word in different cultures that share a common language and same is the case with accent and dialect. Secondly, there are a plethora of different idioms and phrasal verbs which are unique to certain cultures depending upon their locality, religion, and heritage. Moreover, poetry and literature of a group represent a deep imbuement of its culture. Therefore, in retrospect of the above citations, it is quite evident that linguistics is a vital part of cultural identification.
Having said that, it is often misleading to identify something from a single perspective; the same is the case with cultural recognition through mere language. As discussed in the beginning, there is a myriad of other factors contributing to the process. In the first place, there is art; a repository of society's collective memory and a universal way of communication through time and space. So, a culture can be known for its artefacts and artists. In the next place, there comes clothing; not only the type of clothing but the way it is worn speak about the culture of its owner.
To sum up, I reckon, albeit the importance of language can never be denied in understanding a culture; at the same time there exist various other factors that can substitute language for the very purpose. Conclusively, my vote goes in a slight disagreement with the statement of cultural misunderstanding without its language.
- Art is considered an essential part of all cultures throughout the world. However, these days fewer and fewer people appreciate art and turn their focus to science, technology and business. Why do you think that is? What could be done to encourage more pe 89
