Language plays a central role in shaping the cultural
and social identity of individuals and communities. As a
medium for communication, it also serves as a vehicle
for transmitting traditions, values, and narratives across
generations. In a globalized world, the interaction
between local languages and dominant global
languages, such as English, raises questions about the
preservation of cultural identity and the impact of
linguistic choices on social dynamics.
CORRECT
alternative.
✂️ a) An individual's cultural identity is completely
unrelated to the language they use, as language is
merely a system of communication. ✂️ b) The use of a global language, such as English,
always results in the complete cultural assimilation of
local communities into Anglo-American culture. ✂️ c) Language functions as a medium for cultural
expression, allowing a community's values, traditions,
and narratives to be transmitted and preserved. ✂️ d) The adoption of English as a secondary language
in a country has no impact on the perception of national
or cultural identity among its speakers. ✂️ e) In bilingual contexts, speakers' cultural identities
are always uniform, without influence from the
dominant language.
