Culture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, belief and ways bf life of a given group of human beings. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.
To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.
People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped form of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind the Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all
This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.
Judging from the passage, the author might be ______.
选项
A、an American Indian
B、a Canadian
C、an African
D、a Japanese
答案
B
解析
根据文章内容判断,作者在文中所用的“our languages”和“Western languages”所指相同,因此作者应当是西方人;而从作者以美国印第安人语言举例情况来看,作者不是美国印第安人,所以B的可能性最大。
