Multi-Angle Exploration on the Inner Relationship among Language,Thought and Culture with “Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis”

“Sapir-Whorf hypothesis"holds that human thoughts are shaped by their native languages,and speakers of different languages think differently relevantly.The hypothesis is controversial partly because it seems to deny the possibility of a general principle for human cognition,and partly because some findings taken to support it have not reliably replicated.The author argued that considering this hypothesis through the lens of probabilistic inference has the potential to figure out both issues,at least with respect to certain prominent findings in the two languages—Chinese and English.After exploring on the inner relationship among language,thought and culture with the comparison between English and Chinese based on a series of examples including“numbers,Wuhan dialect and some different understandings of idioms”,the author made an inference that language can somewhat affect human thought under the different culture contexts.Besides,it also provides some reference for educators to take in-depth studies on the relationship among language,thought and culture,which is vitally significant for ESL educators and learners.

A Study on the Relationship between Language and Culture

In recent years,many scholars have devoted themselves to the study of language and culture from different perspectives.The view this paper holds is that language and culture are closely related and the relationship between them is bidirectional:as a component of a certain culture system,a language notes down,spreads and passes on the message involved in the given culture;at the same time,it is culture that makes language form,develop and mature.

The Relationship between Language and Culture and its Pedagogical Implications

According to Brown's theory, culture plays an important role in language learning and teaching. This paper mainly analyzes the relationship between language and culture, and then gives some pedagogical implications.

On Relationship between Language and Culture from Pragmatic Perspective

The idea that language and culture are closely related is normally abstract for most people.From pragmatic perspective,it' s noteworthy to reveal a clearer and more detailed picture of the relationship between language and culture.Taking speech act,sociocultural pragmatics,contrastive pragmatics and interlanguage pragmatics as four aspects to study,the features and realiza tion patterns of their relationship are elaborated.Besides,implications of this study lie in the usage of the relationship in second language teaching and learning.

The Relationship Between“Form-focused Approach”and “Language Proficiency”

In recent years,language researchers and teachers are paying more attention to form- focused language teaching approach. Second language teaching developed from an extreme of Focus of Forms to another extreme of Focus on Meaning. After the failure of two extremes,researchers synthesize the advantages and disadvantages of both methods and show more interests in Focus on Form( Hereinafter referred to as "F on F"). A good deal of scholars from all over the world start doing further researches into F on F. However,related studies of the relationship between Fon F and Language Proficiency are deficient. Based on the previous theories and researches of F on F,this article talks about the definitions of F on F and Language Proficiency respectively and analyses the relationship between F on F and Language Proficiency. Moreover,the author comes up with some problems existing in language teaching in current China and throws a sprat to further researches.

Intrinsically Interconnected and Interactive Relationship of Language and Culture—From the Perspective of Communication and Based on Case Studies

Language and culture are intrinsically interconnected and interactive with each other.On one hand,language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it:language expresses,embodies and symbolizes cultural reality.On the other,language is influenced and shaped by culture;it reflects culture.This kind of relationship of language and culture is indispensible,which is clearly reflected in and especially ture with their play of roles in communication.Through the overviews of language and culture,and based on the case studies of three types of communication(cross-cultural,intercultural and multicultural communication),this article is aimed at discussing the relationship of language and culture in detail from the perspective of communication,and further explain and prove the importance of language and culture in successful communication.

A Preliminary Study on the Relationship between Language and Culture under ELF

Recently there has been much rise in the interests of the research on English as lingua franca (ELF), however, inadequateattention is put on the culture dimension under the context of ELF. This article tries to explore the relationship between languageand culture under ELF and suggested that the culture is not settled or static, but is highly dynamic and context dependent. Therefore, the ability to negotiate becomes vital when English is used as a lingua franca.

The Relationship between Language and Culture

The strong version of Sapir-Whorf's hypothesis emphasizes the definite control of language over our thoughts or cul ture. While the weak one argues language can influence but the influence is relative. This thesis is to give a view on the relation ship between these two concepts, hoping to give some help to the research of language and culture, and the understanding of their relationship.

A Contrastive Study of the Relationship between Language and Culture Exemplified in English and Chinese

This paper analyses the relationship between language and culture exemplified in English and Chinese.Language is not only a part of culture but also the carrier and container of culture.As a mirror of culture language is strongly influenced by culture.Language also exerts its influence on culture.Language and culture is closely related.

Intrinsic and Indispensable Relationships between Language Learning and Culture Learning-Based on Case Studies of Cross-cultural Communication

Language and culture are closely related with each other: language is the carrier and a fundamental part of culture, while culture has an intrinsic and indispensable impact on language and is also reflected in language. So if in the language learning and teaching, attention is only paid to the linguistic forms but the relationship between language and culture is ignored, then the learner's linguistic ability will not be equivalent to his or her social and cultural communication competence. Especially in the times of globalization with increasing transna tional and cross-cultural communication, the knowledge of cultural background is the must prerequisite for not only the avoidance of cul tural "conflict" but the success of communication. Based on the studies of several cross-cultural communication cases and the analysis of the relationship between language and culture, including the famous Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, this paper is aimed to analyze the intrinsic and in dispensable relationship between language learning and culture learning.

The Use of Cognate Words and Interlingual Homographs to Investigate the Cross-Linguistics in Second Language Processing in Iran

Various investigations have shown that the native language impacts foreign word recognition and this influence is adapted by the dexterity in the normative language. Cognates, words which area like beyond two or additional languages in some fields signify an attention-grabbing, illuminating, and crucial facet of foreign or second language learning and research. Forty-five （males and females） participants have been randomly chosen and participated in the experiment in Islamic Azad University, Zanjan, Iran, in 2014-2015 school year. The participants＇ age was between from 18 to 28, with a mean age of 21.5 years. The materials were divided into two groups which include 30 true cognates and 30 false cognates words from 300 words by doing CVR （content validity ratio） and CVI （content validity index） （Lawshe＇s table with index of 88% and 82% respectively） for being reliable and valid. These words have been taught to them, after a week, a test has been prepared about those words. According to the results of T-test for comparing the average marks of learning in every two groups can be said that there is a meaningful difference between the scores. The results show that the students learned true cognate words better than the false cognate words. The results of this investigation conjointly make sure the expectations that cognate-based instruction can absolutely impact in second language acquisition.

Analyze the Influence of Language and Culture on Thought from 1984

The relationship between language and thought has always been a controversial topic. Whether language determines thought or thought determines language, researchers have different opinions. As early as in ancient Greece, someone put forward that thought was a silent language, language and thought could not be separated, and thought was a part of language. However, oth-ers argue that language is a sign of thought and should not be confused with thought.Until the 20th century, researchers represented by Sapir-Whorf put forward the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which believe that language has a direct impact on thought, and thought varies with language. Hence, based on the relationship between language and thought, culture and thought, this thesis mainly dis-cusses the relationship between language, culture and thought combine with the Newspeak in the novel of 1984.

从言到行的进路--庄子对语言困境的认知与策略

庄子以多样的形式和高超的技巧将语言的功能发挥到极致,但是他认为作为工具的语言是有局限的,语言无法抵达道,从而指出了语言的困境。庄子认为对道的抵达不能依赖语言的意义功能,“寓言”“重言”的意义表达无法从语言内部解决语言的困境。因此,他以“卮言”这种言说的形式将静止的语言意义转化为动态的言说行为,以无拘无束的言语行为抵达道境,这是他语言策略的第一步。庄子的语言策略还表现在将语言内化,以无言之言的直觉感悟直抵道境,把握事物的真。以行达道是庄子解决语言困境策略的最后一步。

“无法被改编的小说”——米兰·昆德拉反图像写作研究

以语图关系切入,探究昆德拉的思想理论和写作实践,可以得出其文学作品的反图像性。具体表现为两点:一是抽象议题代替具象情节,成为小说叙述的主体,是谓具象与抽象的颠倒;二是充分利用语言不同于图像的“实指”特色,从而在概述、叙述转换以及本质揭露功能上获得自己的相对叙述优势。昆德拉书写体现出的“反图像”性,在当今语图边界变动、图像和语言的关系出现“历史性的颠倒”时,找到了一条独属于文学的“可能路径”。
