Linguistic and Cultural Formalism

Linguistic and Cultural Formalism 

God has bestowed numerous bounties upon man and one of these is his capacity to learn from

his past experience. If he strikes his on a path, foot, he tries to find out the cause of it;

removes the stumbling block from his way or deflects his steps to avoid it. But if he finds his

way impassable or littered with similar obstacles ,he takes to another even and straight path.

Whenever he commits a mistake or fails in his venture, he tries to analyse and understand the

cause of his failure. He tries to avoid the mistake once committed so that he does not take the

wrong track again and so come to grief for the second time. Man’s capacity to analyse cause

and effect, to understand the relationship between antecedent and result is undoubtedly a

Divine blessing bestowed upon him alone.

It is this distinctive capacity enjoyed by man which distinguishes him from cattle and beasts

and has been the sole reason for all man’s progress in the arts, sciences, culture and

civilization.

It is not that man never makes a mistake
