15.Cultural transmission of language

 Cultural transmission, or cultural learning, is an educational process that involves acquiring new knowledge through socialization and interaction with others.

 It involves the transfer of concepts between cultures, through real life experiences, allowing individuals to rapidly learn beliefs, behaviours, and expectations.

 Cultural transmission occurs through language, religion, or art, shaping values, self-perception, and acceptable behavior.

 It can be direct, where culture is passed down through direct teaching, indirect, observational learning, or imitation.

 Direct transmission occurs when parents teach their children about a culture, while indirect transmission occurs when culture is absorbed without intentional intention.

 Observational learning involves learning from others, while imitation involves copying behaviour.

 "Culture is the art elevated to a set of beliefs."- Thomas Wolfe

 “Language and culture are the frameworks through which

humans experience, communicate, and understand reality.”

                                                            -Lev Vygotsky  (Russian Psychologist)

Cultural transmission of language is the process through which languages carry and transmit cultural elements, such as traditions, values, and societal norms, from one generation to the next. Language serves as a vehicle for passing down not only words and grammar but also the collective wisdom and identity of a culture. This transmission occurs as individuals acquire their native language through interaction with their community, absorbing the cultural nuances embedded in the language. It is a dynamic and ongoing exchange that helps societies maintain their cultural heritage and adapt to changing times, emphasizing the inseparable relationship between language and culture.
