问题     Language is a set of verbal symbols that are primarily
auditory, but second written, now in more than 2,200【S1】 __________________
different languages with more than 400 orthographic systems
for computer adaption. It also constitutes of【S2】___________________
the most distinctive feature of a culture, that may be【S3】 ___________________
described in a simplistic manner as the totality of the
beliefs and practices of a society. And although a
language may regarded as a relatively small part of a【S4】 ___________________
culture, it is indispensable for both the functioning and the
perpetuation of a culture.  Accordingly, competent translators【S5】___________________
are always aware that ultimately words only have meaning
in terms of the corresponding culture. But because【S6】___________________
a language can usually be acquired within a period of ten years,
it took a lifetime to understand and become【S7】___________________
an integral part of a culture. In order to understand and
appreciate the related roles of language and culture as
two dependent symbolic systems, it may be helpful to【S8】___________________
describe some of their more relevant similarities, differences,
and interrelations. Their similarities can perhaps
be best understood in terms of early acquisition, loss,
collective activity and socio semiotic factor.  The differences【S9】 ___________________
can also be described in terms of language as the most distinctive feature of a culture and
the underlying forces that sustain and drive the culture. The relations【S10】___________________
between language and culture can then be described in terms of reciprocal modification and the representation
of culture by language.
【S9】
选项
答案factor→factors
解析 本题所在行句号前的句子论述了语言和文化的相似之处，其中包括：早期习得(early acquisition)、消亡(loss)、集体行为(collective activity)，还有社会符号学因素(sociosemiotic factor)。然而，“社会符号学因素”与前面三个抽象概念不同，涉及大量社会现象和社会活动，是具体的概念，并且，factor表“因素”时，是可数名词，在本句中需要用复数形式，故factor应改为factors。
