"Language and culture are inseparable for all
language levels."
"Language and culture go hand in hand and neither one can exit without the
other." "
"...inseparable because language reflects culture."
"Understanding of host nation norms, traditions,
values, etc; can be learned without knowing the language."
"culture has
lexical content, semantic content, and pragmatic domains; it doe not have
syntax, morphology, or phonology."
"purely
language: phonology, morphology, and syntax"...overlapping langua-culture:
pragmatics, lexicon, most aspects of semantics, ...discourse structure and
behaviors, genre..."
"Culture may
be learned without knowledge of the target language, but it doesn't happen
the other way around."
