      Hi, Anton Shepelev!       I read your message from 06.07.2016 17:55       about Football?.               AK>> Some countries however fight heavily against English        AK>> words in their languages. For instance Croatia. So        AK>> they don't have "football, they call it        AK>> "nogomet" -- "foot-throw".               AS> The aspiration to protect one's culture from dissolving in        AS> another is a noble and commendable one, and especially so in        AS> our age of globalization. Language being the most important        AS> medium of culture, it is also the first to suffer when its        AS> mother culture is under attack.              I don't agree that culture and a language are inseparable. IMHO, language is       nothing, it just an instrument. Language just describes a PARTICULAR CULTURE.       We can use, for instance, English to describe the essence of a Russian soul.       We've translated into English our great literature.              Culture is something that located inside of people.       Culture it is th way we treat injustice, a lie, children, old people etc.              Bye, Anton!       Alexander Koryagin       ENGLISH_TUTOR 2016              --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox        * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384)    |
