It is now clear that the terminology used by a culture primarily
reflects that culture’s interests and concerns. For instance, Indians in the【S1】________
Canada’s Northwest Territories typically have at most 13 terms for【S2】________
different types and conditions of snow, and most non-skiing native【S3】________
Southern Californians use only 2 terms—ice and snow. That does not
mean that the English language only has 2 terms. Quite the contrary,
there are many more English words that refer in different states of frozen【S4】________
water, such as blizzard, dusting, flurry, frost, hail, powder, sleet,
slush, and snowflake. The point is that these terms are rare if ever used【S5】________
by people living in tropical or subtropical regions because they seldom
encounter frozen water in any form rather than ice cubes. The【S6】________
distinctions between different snow conditions are not relevant to
everyday life and children may not even have the words explain to them.【S7】________
However, people in these warmer regions make fine distinctions about
other phenomena that are important to them. For example, coastal
Southern Californians often have dozens of surfing-related words that
would likely be known to most Indians in the Northwest Territories or to【S8】________
people living in Britain for that matter.
The number of terms related to a particular topic also may be
greater or smaller depend on such social factors as gender. For example,【S9】________
North American women generally make far more color distinctions than
do men. This may be largely due to the fact subtle color differences are【S10】________
important factors in women’s clothing and make-up. Parents and peers
usually encourage and train girls early to be knowledgeable about these distinctions.
【S5】
