Formation of the language environment: A factor in the development of an individual's culture in a multicultural society

Research has shown that language, which represents the accumulated experience of a particular nation's people and encompasses the fullness and variety of their lives, is well grounded in their consciousness. In each new generation, an estimation of social values indicates the effectiveness of how particular ethnic groups learn the language attached to that group through the collective experience and knowledge of reality, vulgarity, or rejection by other people. Therefore, language has an impact on each individual's experience, behavior, and level of civility. Thus, identification of areas that are key to the formation of a language becomes the primary factor in an individual's cultural identity in a multicultural society. We study these areas in the context of the Kazakh language. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
