To the professional anthropologist，there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic rank or hierarchy among languages．
Most languages of uncivilized groups are，by our most severe standards，extremely complex，delicate，and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas．They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound pattern of grammatical structures，which usually are fully adequate for all language needs，but only in their vocabularies，which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers．Even in this department，however, two things are to be noted．First，all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion，either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system．Second，the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward” languages，while different from ours，are often surprisingly numerous and complicated．A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness (“this”and“that”)；some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed，or out of sight，or in the past，or in the future．
