Articles on the relationship between languages and culture. The scope is not limited to Malaysia but also includes Singapore and Brunei as well as studies in Britain and Japan. Fascinating insight on language's influences on human behaviour and interactions. This study focused on the impact of English but there might be other studies on other languages as well which could be used as a comparison. I 'm intrigued to know how the effect Mandarin would have on others as more countries try to gain a foothold in the economic progress of China.
