ABSTRACT

The nuances of culture are complex and seem infi nitely variable. These nuances are communicated by means of language1-itself complex and constantly changing. In any given instance, language and culture are intimately interwoven. Therefore, both are primary focal points of this chapter. A search on the Internet displays millions of defi nitions and conceptual illustrations of culture. Several are identifi ed herein to effectively frame this chapter. Additionally, “culture and experience” are illustrated through a visual, rather than through words alone. Could one picture be worth 1,000 words?
