Differences between being bilingual and bicultural.
Bilingualism |
Biculturalism |
|
Refers to the ability to use two
or more languages in daily life, though not necessarily with equal fluency.
It focuses on language proficiency and usage, including how languages are
acquired and maintain. |
Involves participating in and adapting to
the cultural norms, values, and behaviors of two or more cultures.
Biculturals often blend cultural aspects and adapt their behavior depending
on the context, which can influence their language use and cognitive processes. |
|
It doesn’t care about culture,
traditions or manners, necessarily. It just about communication by a second
language. You often find bilinguals who are not bicultural and can find
bilinguals and biculturals too. |
They take part, to varying
degrees, in the life of two or more cultures. A bicultural person has to use
a second language too. |
