Culture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, and ways of life of a given group of human beings. In this 【C1】______, every group has a culture, 【C2】______undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us. To the anthropologist, there is no【C3】______of one culture over another, just as to the linguist there is no hierarchy among languages.
People once saw the languages of backward groups as【C4】______, undeveloped forms of speech,【C5】______ largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general 【C6】______ as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact【C7】______ by the study of " backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description. Most languages of uncivilized groups are,【C8】______ our most severe standards, extremely complex and【C9】______pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall【C10】______ our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all languages needs,【C11】______only in their vocabularies.
Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted; First, all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary【C12】______, either by putting together words already in 【C13】______or by borrowing them from other languages and【C14】______them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in " backward " languages,【C15】______ different from ours, are often surprisingly 【C16】______ and complicated. A western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness("this" and "that"); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person【C17】______, or removed from both, or out of【C18】______, or in the past, or in the future.
This study of language,【C19】______, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of【C20】______or hierarchy. [br] 【C20】
