25、nding blanks. 31 Culture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, and ways of life of a given group of human beings. In this 【C1 】_, every group has a culture, 【C2】 _undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us. To the anthropologist, there is no【C3】_of one culture over another, just as to
26、the linguist there is no hierarchy among languages.People once saw the languages of backward groups as【C4】_, undeveloped forms of speech,【C5】_ largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general 【C6】_ as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact【C7】_ by the study of “ backw
27、ard“ languages that no spoken tongue answers that description. Most languages of uncivilized groups are,【C8】_ our most severe standards, extremely complex and【C9】_pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall【C10 】_ our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structur
28、es, which usually are fully adequate for all languages needs,【C11 】 _only in their vocabularies.Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted; First, all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary【C12】_, either by putting together words already in 【C13】_or by borrowing the
29、m from other languages and【C14】_them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “ backward “ languages,【C15】_ different from ours, are often surprisingly 【C16】_ and complicated. A western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness
30、(“this“ and “that“); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person【C17】_, or removed from both, or out of【C18】_, or in the past, or in the future.This study of language,【C19】_, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that al
