  • "This episode introduces students to the nature of the relationship between language and culture, and the importance of language in anthropological study. Several linguists address such issues as how language develops and evolves; how it is learned; and how it is transmitted within and between cultures. Terms such as linguistics, phonetics, morphemes, and syntax are explained. Case studies such as the development of Black English in the United States, and the revival of a nearly extinct language in Canada are included to illustrate the importance of language in cultural identity. The program also explores the significance of other forms of communication, including non-verbal communication and symbolism. Finally, the program focuses on the way language is interpreted through a social context and the values of the host society. For example, does our language change our perception, or does our perception change our language?"@en
