Language is a communication tool used by everyone in their daily life as a means to convey information and arguments to others. In this case, the language cannot be separated from culture because language represent its nation and has close relation to the attitude or behavior of groups of speakers of the languages. The role of language as a tool to express culture reality can be seen from: 1) Language is part of culture, 2) Even the language and the culture is in different, but have a very close relationship, 3) Language is strongly influenced by culture, and 4) Language significantly influence culture and way of thinking of people living within. In the communication, language used by people is influence their culture or vice versa. If used parables, the culture and language like Siamese twins, the two things that cannot be separated. Or as a coin; side one is the language and the other is culture.

This research explores the relationship between language and identity; with more than 7,000 spoken languages in the world today, we can transmit our identities and thoughts by using our language, and that is one of the strongest human abilities as far as the language is different as much as the transmitted can be different too since the language is a main and an important method to express our identities in any culture and society. Language is either individual words, connected speech, or even writing. While we use written or spoken language, we do not only express our thoughts, culture, society, intentions but also who we really are and how we want people to see us. We both perform and produce specific identities depending on the context. I used a survey (quantitative data), and I published it on different media, so I could gather as many participants and cover a large number of experiences. It included both open and closed questions and also included possible answers (multiple c...

One's language is central to one's identity. Without language, expression is hindered and individualism is subsided. The ability to speak is the most physical representation of "self". What you say, describes the ideas of the mind, each thought having the ability to form new innovative ideas; how you say it, describes the unique being, their origin, their culture, race, experiences, everything that makes them...well, them .

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Intercultural Competence

The intersection of language and culture is a crucial site for the study of social life; it is, moreover, a rich site for the study of intercultural communication, international relations, and cross-cultural studies of communication in general. Of special [p. 581 ↓ ] concern to interculturalists is the variety of ways in which language can be used, differences in the conceptions people hold about language itself, culturally distinctive vocabularies, culturally distinctive forms of expression, and the unique role of language as a means of communication in one setting or cultural scene relative to others. The latter concern brings into view other possible cultural means of communication, such as silence, nonverbal expressions, and nonhuman agents of communication, each of which can help place language use, generally, in its place within a culture's expressive system. Cultural analysts of language use explore these dynamics in multiple ways, including attention to culturally dense language, such as linguistic forms, which identify action, identity, emotion, social relationships, and dwelling.

Epigenetics and Language Legacy

AUTHOR: P.S. PERKINS Examines the impact of symbol systems on personal and group identity. Language expresses the customs, attitudes, beliefs, and traditions of its people. Participants will be introduced to Language Legacy as a “root cause and perpetuator” of personal identity. The cultural imperative of most dominant cultures is to keep in place those traits that maintain its dominance. The symbol systems – verbal and nonverbal – are the major mechanisms through which this maintenance occurs. In addition, co-cultures must also adopt and adapt to the “prescriptions” of this language often to their own self-deprecation as well as create their own unique “expressions” that may or may not reflect a consciousness of “lesser than”. All of this is being passed down generation to generation. Specifically, this discussion should benefit scientist, practitioners of socio-linguistics, cross-cultural communication, and cultural sociologists in assessing the role of generational language patterns and their impact on identity – this is particularly relevant to the argument for the need to reinvent language patterns passed down in caustic and identity-damaging patterns. P.S. Perkins examines and discusses the specific ways we experience symbol systems that continue Language Legacy as a major tool in the development of identity including media, film, music, and other socio-cultural systems of expression. Her lecturers often include storytelling, the performing arts, dance, and music as inclusive of her edutainment philosophy

This edited collection examines how people use a range of different modalities to negotiate, influence, and/or project their own or other people's identities. It brings together linguistic scholars concerned with issues of identity through a study of language use in various types of written texts, conversation, performance, and interviews.
