Abstract

The relationship between language and culture is complex and intertwined, reflecting the deep connection between the two in shaping human experience and communication. Language serves as a cultural artifact, carrying the values, beliefs, and norms of a society, while culture influences how language is used and understood. This paper explores the ways in which language reflects cultural identity, conveys social roles, and embodies collective experiences. By examining various linguistic features, such as vocabulary, idioms, and syntax, this study demonstrates how language both shapes and is shaped by cultural contexts.
