ion by which we arrive at word meaning is complicated. As an example, Samovar and Porter (1991) use the word .d.Qg which in U.S. American society conjures the image of a small, four-legged creature with a tail and a long nose which is kept as a house pet. The phrase which leaps to many minds in this society when the word dQg is heard is man's best friend. But as Samovar and Porter point out, the word for dog conjures up a very different, and to U.S. American minds a very disturbing, image for the Vietnamese. In Vietnam dogs are considered a gastronomic delicacy. One would probably not consider keeping a dog as a house pet any more than a U.S. American would consider keeping a pig or a cow as a pet. This is a simple example, but it proves that words are more than simple labels which can be applied universally to similar referents with the same meaning resulting. By extension, language "is much more than a mere set of word symbols governed by rules. It is far more complex than that because the language symbols are only abstractions of the real states of our being and, as such, are inadequate substitutes" (Samovar and Porter, 1991, p. 148). To briefly restate my argument in the words of another researcher, "identity occurs through learning to interpret behavior, rather than simply learning to understand one's body. The requirements of language ... lead us from behavior to identity" (Baumeister, 1986, p. 178). Infants discover their bodies before they acquire language. It is only through the acquisition of language that they gain access to the interpretation of their own behaviors as well as those of others which they witness. For individuals who cannot acquire language, or who do so in a different way, access to their environment is temporarily impeded. Their experience is similar to that of sojourners in that the access sojourners have to the environment of their hosts is also temporarily impeded. Sojourners who do not speak their hosts' language well must strive to make their needs known by way of highly simplified language. Their access to understanding is impeded by their inability
