A Chinese speaker would say, "Wo shi University of Texas at Dallas de xuesheng." This grammatical pattern denotes possessiveness and would literally translate as "I belong to this University."
Does this grammatical pattern denote an
individualistic or collectivistic identity? Explain your answer and include contrasting examples.
What will be an ideal response?
The statement denotes collectivistic cultural values in that the speaker may
not think of her/himself as distinct from others and the self-concept is created in terms
of group membership. "I'm a student at University of Texas at Dallas" could be a
statement illustrating more individualistic values.
