In the canonical writing of the cultural essentialists, language has a very
close and intimate relationship with culture, an association evinced by the
language/culture interchangeability of Ngugi, who asserts that language as
Line culture is the collective memory bank of a people’s experience in history. In his
(5) view, language carries the burden of a particular, evolving culture and becomes
the people’s expression of their accumulated experience to the point that it
becomes almost indistinguishable from the culture that defines its growth,
articulation and transmission to other generations. This interchangeability
betrays Ngugi’s longing for an ideal: the isomorphism between a particular
(10) language and a certain (cultural) reality.
Two objections deserve articulation, however, the first following from the
early Wittgensteinian view that the limits of language mean the limit of the
world. The view is not only that language influences our conception of the
world, as Ngugi would agree, but that language alone determines our particular
(15) manner of establishing perceptions and sentiments. This view is overly focused
for permitting the experience of reality only one constitutive factor, language,
to the exclusion of other non-linguistic factors. Yet since reality is many-sided
and aleatory, its boundary can not be determined or captured solely by
language, or in other words, humans experience the world in innumerable ways
(20) too varied and complex to be captured by language.
The second claim inherent in Ngugi’ s expressive theory is that it is
language, above all else, determines a people’s distinctive cultural identity.
That is, for the linguistic expressivist, one is only introduced to a certain
community or form of life by means of language learning. The resemblance of
(25) this to Quine’s thesis of the indeterminacy of radical translation is rather
obvious, but Ngugi rather discountenances notions of dialectic materialism that
ground "praxis" or labor over language such that it is from labor, and not from
language or thought, that the category of meaning arises. For most cultural
theorists, labor possesses the property of being intelligible prior to the
(30) intelligibility of language and thought, and thus, on the basis of what has been
called the "constitutive activities", an outsider, whether a layman, a writer, or
an anthropologist need not retreat from understanding another culture due to
the difficulty in radical translation. Objects of the external world can be
meaningfully singled out to facilitate an understanding of the community before
(35) one can begin to master the language.
This last statement, reinforced by an experiment carried out on 3-to
4-month old pre-linguistic babies and the influence of their communal form of
life, has proven that contrasting child-rearing practices bring about a way of
socializing babies into a structure of shared social practices, a way of relating to
(40) others prior to the acquisition of language. In other words, Ngugi’s principle
shortcoming is his failure to recognize that language-learning alone does not
determine one’s entry into a community. [br] The passage suggests that Quine’s theory differs from that of linguistic expressivism in that Quine’s theory does NOT
