This textbook investigates how cultural practices shape language and, conversely, how language reflects cultural norms and societal structures. It addresses the evolution and functions of language, examines the role of language within diverse communities, and explores historical linguistics. Students learn about the origins of writing and the development of writing technologies from pre-writing systems and symbolic representation to the use of writing for knowledge preservation and cultural expression.
