Proximolingual is a term that refers to the concept of being located close to or within proximity to a particular language or linguistic community. It encompasses the geographical, cultural, and social aspects of the linguistic environment in which an individual or group finds themselves. The term is made up of two components: "proximo," derived from the word proximity meaning nearness or closeness, and "lingual" relating to language.
In a broader sense, proximolingual takes into account the physical proximity of individuals or communities to a specific language or languages. It encompasses the geographical borders where the language is primarily spoken and the cultural context in which the language operates. This proximity can have a profound impact on language acquisition, development, and proficiency.
Furthermore, proximolingual also considers the social dynamics within a linguistic community, such as shared norms, values, and behaviors that are associated with a particular language. These factors shape the language acquisition process and influence individuals' linguistic choices and preferences.
Proximolingual can be applied to individuals who are living or learning in close proximity to a particular language, as well as to communities or regions where a specific language is predominantly spoken. It provides a framework to understand the multidimensional nature of language and the influence of geographical and social factors on language use and development.
