Language is said to be the prerequisite to the development of culture. It follows, then, that new cultural experiences require an increase in the resources of a language. We can only conceive of reality in terms of our linguistic symbols of reference to it, say the linguistic experts, and these linguistic symbols are accurate only in terms of a known pattern of reference or of a known pattern of expression. The main functions of a language, in so far as they can be broken down, include: communication, socialization, and cultural accumulation.
