One of them is that if you want to imbibe a culture, if you want to drink it in, if you want to become part of it, then whether or not the language channels the culture -- and that seems doubtful -- if you want to imbibe the culture, you have to control to some degree the language that the culture happens to be conducted in.
En af dem er, at hvis du vil  tilegne dig en kultur, hvis du vil omsluttes af den, være en del af den, så uanset om sproget styrer kulturen -- selvom det virker usandsynligt -- hvis du vil tilegne dig kulturen må du til en vis grad mestre det sprog som kulturen nu engang udtrykker sig i.
