Culture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, belief and ways bf life of a given group of human beings. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.
To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.
People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped form of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind the Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all
This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.
The best title for this passage is ______.
选项
A、Criticism of Language Hierarchy
B、Cultural Englitarian from the Perspectives of Language
C、Expansion of "Backward" Language
D、Criticism of Language Hierarchy
答案
B
解析
本文开头段和结尾段讲的都是文化的问题,强调文化的平等主义,从中间几段来看,是在借文化当中的语言来进一步证明文化之间的平等,因此B应当是正确答案;其他几个答案都只看到了文章的部分内容,以偏概全。
