Mahmuda Alam and Humayra Akhter

Abstract

Our topic is the social aspects of culture that change language. The change of time, religion, different profession, technological influences, modernization, marriage, and free sex, mainly the total social situation change the culture. This culture is controlling our memory thoughts and it changes our daily life work. So, the functions of daily life change and our language changes gradually. By investigating the different social aspects of culture that changes the language, we will show the cultural changes, then people can understand in which way the language can change and get a different shape. The words like roza, namaj, hadith, salat are not our words. But they are used in our own culture for our religion. So, language is influenced by religion. With the passes of time many foreign cultures come to our country. The people of our country do not follow their own culture perfectly. Now, the situation gradually changes, western culture is followed in each and every situation in our country and the language changes automatically.

1. Introduction

Culture is whatever a person must know in order to live in a particular society. It has to acquire, and it is not biological. In Bangladesh, we follow the different pattern of culture. Language is very much important on culture. So, when our culture changes, language also changes automatically. Our research would show what are the different social aspects of culture that change language. So, people would easily understand the thing that the ways in which the speakers of particular language see the world, behave in it, they use the language in that way.

In our research paper, we plan to investigate the effects of culture that changes languages. There are various reasons for changing languages such as colonialization, mongralization, technological and the cause of social changes. When one country dominates the other country, their languages, culture, education, thought, everything will come to the different culture. If the people of any country come for trade or any other reasons and then marriage the foreign people, then the language also change. Mongrel language has no specialty. It is a negative term. When the original prestigious language mixed with the low prestigious language and get the lowest prestige, that situation of language is called mongralisation.
