Answer:
In linguistics, cultural transmission is the process whereby a language is passed on from one generation to the next in a community. It is also known as cultural learning and socio/cultural transmission.
Cultural transmission is generally regarded as one of the key characteristics distinguishing human language from animal communication. However, as Willem Zuidema points out, cultural transmission "is not unique to language or humans—we also observe it in music and bird song—but rare among primates and a key qualitative feature of language" ("Language in Nature" in The Language Phenomenon, 2013).
