Titelbeschreibung

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Kultur und Landeskunde, Note: 1,7, Universität Kassel (Fremdsprachenlehr- und -lernforschung), Veranstaltung: Language and Cultural Awareness, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Considering the fact that, according to the Enthologue catalogue, there exist 7097 known living languages, but only 196 countries in the world, it is intelligible to presume that people do generally speak more than one language (Lewis et.al., 2016, Chrystal, 2007). Literature often discusses the phenomenon of differences in individuals’ behaviour in native and foreign tongues. It is believed that our childhood languages vibrate with greater emotional intensity than do those learned in more academic settings, which is reflected in our thoughts and actions (Sedivy, 2016). Do the languages we speak shape the way we see the world, the way we think, and the way we live our lives. This paper aims to answer this question and how and if language and identity correlate by investigating the relationship with the help of a theoretical approaches as well as the practical implementation through a survey.
