How are language and identity connected?
Choose at least two readings from this week, and reflect on the relationship between language and identity. In your initial posting, consider the following questions:
· How are language and identity connected in the works? Consider both individual and cultural identity.
· How is language depicted as a source of power on the one hand, and a cause of inner and external conflict on the other?
· How does language highlight and embody possible conflicts between cultures and ethnicities?
· To what extent does language affect (or not affect) our world views, and our experiences of ourselves and the world?
