Title

The acquisition of Malay as a second language: A case of the essentiality of culture learning

Description

This paper argues that Malay is a highly social/cultural context language. As such, acquiring/learning Malay is essentially acquiring/learning (mainstream) Malay culture.
This paper will attempt to demonstrate the highly social/cultural context of Malay by discussing some of its salient affective characteristics from frameworks that have been developed within anthropological and sociological linguistics. By discussing the affective characteristics of Malay, it is inasmuch as dealing with the special characteristics of Malays as an ethnic group.
