IMPACT OF LINGUISTIC CULTURE ON A CHILD’S BEHAVIOURAL DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
This article explores the profound impact of linguistic culture on a child’s behavioural development. Language, deeply intertwined with culture, shapes how children perceive and interact with the world. From infancy, children are immersed in linguistic environments that transmit cultural values, social norms, and identity. Through language acquisition, socialization, and communication patterns, children internalize cultural expectations and develop behavioural patterns influenced by their linguistic culture. The article discusses how linguistic diversity, socialization practices, emotional regulation, and identity formation are shaped by linguistic culture. It emphasizes the importance of promoting cultural sensitivity, inclusivity, and equity in supporting children’s holistic development across diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
