Does Language Influence Culture? - WSJ.com

Language is a uniquely human gift. When we study language, we are uncovering in part what makes us human, getting a peek at the very nature of human nature. As we uncover how languages and their speakers differ from one another, we discover that human natures too can differ dramatically, depending on the languages we speak.

Daaam Yo ! Dat BE mad Rayciss sHEEET !

How dare WSJ imply that just because ******* can't speak English normally that they are sub-human ?

It is not a white/black issue. George Barnard Shaw discussed this in Pygmalion.

Populism Popularity


Ebonics has been studied by many respected scholars and linguists as a historical phenomenon indicative of 'multi-culturalism adaptation.'

If we look at the meters of early Americas African slave songs and modern day African-American 'Gangster Rap,' we notice that both forms of music exhibit re-orientations of Ebonics phonetics and structure.

Ebonics is a simplified form of Standard English, expressing a desire to combine economics with lifestyle. An Ebonics speaker will substitute the phonetic syllables 'fi dis' for the standard words 'five discs,' eliminating sounds (glottal and frontal) to achieve efficiency and speed-themed efficiency.

Let's look at the following recognized African slave song lyrics: "Swing low, sweet chariot....comin' for to carry me home!"

Now let's look at the following recognized Gangster Rap lyrics: "Yippie-yo, yippie-yay, Death Row's definitely in the house!"

Both exhibit expressive linguistic shortenings and recombinations --- comin' substituted for coming; yippie-yay substituted for the common euphoria English explicative 'yay!'

These music lyrics refer to the Ebonics formatting of efficiency or economics expressions as they pertain to the African-American experience. Elation, frustration, impatience, and angst are all part of the message here.

In order for society to coordinate modern age populism culture (i.e., Facebook, comic book programs, etc.) with academics, we need to understand how lifestyle creates language and informs communication.


Such notes reveal the surprising value of communication-jargon Hollywood (USA) movies such as "LOL" (2012).

Comparative Diagrams

In Standard English, the economic use of prepositions signifies the speaker's skill at constructing sentences with communicative fluency.

Prepositions are structural enhancements and serve as communication hangers for a given constructed sentence such as "I am in love with Mozart."

It is considered informal and therefore grammatically incorrect to end a sentence in a preposition: "This is the girl I am in love with."

Language seems to be both simple and complex simultaneously, and our arrangement of words and formatted words (i.e., gerunds, contractions, etc.) reveals society's handling of communication delivery.

Casual American English speakers sometimes end their sentences with a preposition, since it is not considered to be a moral faux-pas. Why then do we over-scrutinize the syntactical structures of African-American street-pidgin Ebonics?

Social talk about communication styles can be as intellectually (and politically) valuable as academic analysis of communication deviations.

Whats amusing to me is that racist whites actually think Ebonics is not a language or at the very least a dialect of English developed by Black people. It amuses me to no end to see them try to use it as an insult.

Ebonics is fine for blacks who aspire to nothing more than lives in the bloody hoods.

But if they want to break out of such a lifestyle they'd be a hell of a lot better off being able to communicate with the outside world, both spoken and written.

If I had a choice I'd always hire a black person who speaks standard English vs. some moron fluent in hood-speak.

Ebonics is fine for anyone. The more languages you are fluent in the more people you can talk to. Of course you have to learn standard english once you step outside the area where you speak Ebonics but thats no different than say a Hmong learning english but speaking the Hmong language once he gets off work. Most of my business contacts have no idea I speak Ebonics.

The Power Plaid


If we look at Ebonics statements in terms of the goals presented (i.e., "Gimme fo bucks!"), then it may be easier to coordinate cultural experience in terms of cultural expectations. Ebonics-speakers would appreciate that more too in an arena fraught with controversy (many linguists believe Ebonics is not an official dialect, only subversive slang).

Many gangster-rap songs are delivered by African-Americans who speak Ebonics. These expressive (and engaging) goal-rich songs, such as "Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide" (Gravediggaz), "New Jack Hustler" (Ice-T), and "Nappy Heads" (The Fugees), present the socio-economically frustrated Afro-American experience in America in terms of dreams deferred, goals unrealized, and ambitions humiliated.

We can therefore perhaps use gangster-rap songs, rich in Ebonics analysis, to understand better how intentionality constructs linguistic prioritization.

To appreciate the social symbolism of Ebonics in multi-cultural America is as important as understanding why culture-evocation American film-makers market movies about ambition-propaganda comic book characters such as Doctor Doom (Marvel Comics), a super-fascist with schemes of hypnosis, to America's youngsters.
