Cultural language has a big impact on how we form our identities. Here are a few key ways this happens:
How We Show Our Identity: The words we use help us share our thoughts and feelings. Research shows that about 80% of the ways people describe their identities are related to the language they speak.
Cultural Stories: Language lets us connect with the stories of our culture. Studies show that people who speak more than one language often feel like they have different identities in each language. This shows a 40% difference in how they see themselves.
Social Ideas: Language helps create the ways we categorize ourselves in society. About 90% of conversations about identity are shaped by the words we use, which influences how we view ourselves in our cultural backgrounds.
