This part will analyze the complicated mother-daughter relationships and conflicts。
3。1 Conflicts in language expression
There are many means to communicate with each other in our society, such as language, pictures, signals and so on。 Among these many ways of communication, the amount of information that a language can load is almost unlimited。 Therefore, language is the most important communication tool for human beings。 At the same time, language and culture are closely related。 Different languages convey different cultural information and have different cultural characteristics。 It can even be said that there is no culture without language。文献综述
3。1。1 Different language expression
Linguist Palmer mentioned in An Introduction to Modern Linguistics that the history of language and cultural history coordinate because they can help and inspire each other。 (Luo 2) British linguist Gladstone also pointed out “Language and culture link with each other closely。 Language is not only the product of the culture, but also forming and relating with other cultural elements。” Language cannot be separated from culture。 Culture is the soil of the existence and development of language。 At the same time, the development of language enables the transmission, preservation and continuation of human culture。
We can guess what’s going to happen if people communicate in different languages。
There is no doubt that misunderstandings may emerge。 (Luo 99)
