Are Bilinguals Bicultural People? Original And Originated Bilinguals
Authors : Zeghar Ahmed .
Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the question regarding bilinguals and bicultural people, and the relationship between bilingualism and biculturalism. The investigation seeks out whether a bilingual is bicultural, thus the arrangements of its anthropological circumstances. The paper also scrutinizes definite intended terminologies as ethnolinguistic and ethnomethodology. Then, it illustrates, through several examples, how meanings and their various accountabilities change across cultures. The former which pursues how illocutionary forces vary from one local culture to another and how bilinguals generate responses according to cultures by using their repertoires. The argument about bilinguals and their cultures has led to two new concepts: original bilinguals and originated bilinguals. Upon the two new concepts, it is heavily difficult to assert whether if a bilingual is or can be a bicultural. Henceforth, the difficulty in figuring out so stands in knowing the sufficient ethnolinguistic knowledge itself of both languages ' cultures that the bilingual masters.
