My Topic:
Language has a profound influence on culture.

What I hope to learn from this source:
Reasons being categorized.

Notes:

1. My topic is called as lingusitic-cultural (and cognitive) parallelism (on page 17)
2. 
3. 

Final Thoughts:

I finally figured out that my topic is called as linguistic-culture (and cognitive) parallelism. Also I found out that Whorf supported that the influence from language to culture is predominant.

My Fourth Research

Source: Reasons Language is Important to Any Culture
http://www.brighthubeducation.com/language-learning-tips/99894-why-language-is-important-to-culture/


My Topic:
Language has a profound influence on culture.

What I hope to learn from this source:
Reasons being categorized.

Notes:

1. Noam Chomsky, one of the most well known linguists in the world, argues that all languages are dialects of one language, which is the human language. He says that even though they appear very different, they are in fact very similar. Nevertheless, different cultures have a predominant fashion in which they use their language and they have differences which cannot be underestimated. - See more at: http://www.brighthubeducation.com/language-learning-tips/99894-why-language-is-important-to-culture/#sthash.kWsOW4bJ.dpuf
2. Direct and Indirect Styles / Personal and Contextual Styles / Untranslatable Words
3. Language is a uniquely human gift which lets us communicate and differentiates us from primates. But language is much more than just a means of communication. It is also an inseparable part of our culture. - See more at:  http://www.brighthubeducation.com/language-learning-tips/99894-why-language-is-important-to-culture/#sthash.kWsOW4bJ.dpuf

Final Thoughts:
It gives me specific details. I hadn't concentrated on the styles the article categorized. I finally realize that there are some styles that can support my idea.

My Third Research

Source: Language, culture are intertwined.
http://www.myguidon.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15331&Itemid=44

My Topic:
Language has a profound influence on culture.

What I hope to learn from this source:
Some professional reasons for the idea from Dr. Boshra EL-Guindy.

Notes:

1. Patterns in language are a reflection of a culture’s traditions and values.
2. Language is what makes humans unique.
3. Examples from some languages
4. A bilingual by necessity becomes bicultural.
5. When a bilingual switches from one language to another, he or she starts thinking differently.

 

Final Thoughts:

This gave me more information according to the examples. I could more concentrate on understanding the relationship.

My second research

Source: How does language affect culture?
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_does_language_affect_culture

My Topic:
Language has a profound influence on culture.

What I hope to learn from this source:
Some professional reasons for the idea.

Notes:

1. Language is never the entity which has been invented or scripted in isolation. It certainly has evolved gradually with the continuous development of a culture.
2. A culture being a building made of social behaviors, human emotions, or way of expressing feelings, the language has continually adapted accordingly to accommodate these identified notion and gesture of human activity.
3. Culture is learned. We teach through language. Language's effect on culture can be extremely subtle.
4. A language has always been a weapon to express one's ideas and feelings. And the reason enough to make this weapon more efficient to handle one's need of expressing things with intended accuracy.

Final Thoughts:

yeahhhh this is what I wanted. This research will make me write outlines far easier.

My research

Source:Understanding How Culture Influences Language
http://www.brighthubeducation.com/social-studies-help/15463-how-culture-influences-language/

My Topic:
Language has a profound influence on culture.

What I hope to learn from this source:
Some professional reasons for the idea.

Notes:

1. Culture, on the other hand, is defined by the activities of people, sometimes governed by a geographical boundary. Every culture is unique in itself. It includes language, art, music, mannerisms, religion, games, dress, rituals, law and belief.
2. Man started to communicate with his few kinsmen through symbols. Mutually understood grunts became spoken communication.
3. Each of the above families has had its own cultural traits. The peculiarity of each family shaped the way the language was spoken and understood amongst them.
4. Social traits, which are culture dependent, also influenced language in the way different genders or classes within the same tribe or race spoke to one another.
5. Over time, languages borrowed sounds, grammar and vocabulary from one another. This doesn’t necessarily mean they originated from the same region.
6. As a result, different languages from their respective cultures help to understand and appreciate the evolution of the world and its people as it is today, for when man started out, language was solely meant to be the means that bridged the gap between him and his fellowmen.

Final Thoughts:

I need to find more eaiser research. It can be difficult for some readers. I have to make these things more clear.
