다음 글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것은?

The language which he speaks is not an individual inheritance, but a social acquisition from the group in which he grows up. Both language and environment help to determine the character of his thought; his earliest ideas come to him from others. As has been well said, the individual apart from society would be both speechless and mindless.

Robinson is not an abstract individual, but an Englishman from York.
