Cultural Identity

Abstract

Cultural identity is the feeling of belonging to a certain ethnic group or culture; such feelings can be weak or strong. People can be extremely proud of their cultural identity or very ashamed. Scholars have investigated various dimensions of cultural identity. Some scholars view cultural identity as a three‐stage process, whereas others regard it as having a variety of characteristics. Cultural identity can be influenced by many factors, including personal, familial, and social situations. Several communication theories are adept at clarifying the nuances of cultural identity; such are communication accommodation theory, the ethnography of speaking, and speech code theory. Moreover, scholars have explored the connection between cultural identity and various features—for instance food, acculturation, and kinship.
