A case study

Beschreibung

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Sonstiges, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This research paper deals with the inseparability of language and culture. It explores cultural controls in a specific language and epoch. The first part is chiefly theoretical, tackling an introduction to language and culture and the relationship between them. Eventually, the focus is on the impact of language on culture. The second part, which is mainly practical, examines Moroccan society as a case study. It portrays how language and culture interact, and it will also discuss deeply the religious discourse and the influence of superstition. The last sections doesn't concentrate only on Hip Hop culture among Moroccan youngsters but also discussing a sensitive issue in Moroccan society which is the topic of taboos. Investigating the relationship between language and culture replies to a number of questions raised earlier, such as, "what is language" and "what is culture". Whereas a long definition of language is hardly needed, such a definition is certainly useful in the case of culture, especially its relation with language. Is it a kind of education, which can be expressed by language? Is it a set of socially determined habits or traditions? Or is it a certain way of life? Or perhaps an identity related to behavior? Is there any relationship between language and culture? Is it possible to claim that culture is determined by language? There is a debate among thinkers and intellectuals on the relationship between language and culture that provokes linguists since language is said to serve two purposes.
