The relationship between language and culture It is difficult to say whether language affect the culture or the opposite.But the point we couldn"t deny is that when we mention the language,it"s inevitably to think about its culture.They are bounded to each other.Language and culture are existed at the same time.If there"s no language,then culture is nothing.It"s the premise of the cultural formation and development,and the cultural development has also enriched the language.Language is an important symbol that distinguished human beings from animals.It"s said that there are many mons between them in terms of the biology.But people have the language that animals don"t have.Then religions,belief,morality,custom that belong to culture have been exited.Humans have created culture by taking advantage of language,and in turn,culture has promoted humans toward greater progress.The cultural heritage of human society has embedded the language with a deep mark since ancient times.The human language exists in human culture,it has close relations with human society.Language is an access to understand another culture.It"s a window through which you can find another world.If you want to learn a foreign culture,you have to experience by yourself and by your heart.And the only mean is language.Only after master a foreign language can you bee a part of that society,otherwise the feelings you"ve got are that of others.This kind of feeling will change a bit every through a tran *** ission.It"s not enough to master a foreign language.You also have to know the culture well otherwise we don"t know what others are talking about.Like sometimes watching American movies,I don"t know what the performers are laughing at.Like reading an essay,I can"t realize what the author is trying to express even though I know every world.“He is the person that waves feather fan.” If a Chinese learner wants to know what it means,he has to study the Chinese cultural backgrounds.So foreign language learners have to explore the culture,like how to greet each other,how to introduce guests,how to give and receive gifts,just to name a few.The native speakers learn the cultural knowledge unconsciously.These differences are not the maters of grammar or vocabulary,but the language use rules.It is difficult for language learners to master because of the lack of cultural environment.It"s a general topical.Here I just have talked a few points about the relationship between language and culture.In summary,language is a part of culture,but the most special part which can represent some elements of culture.And in turn,culture has strongly influenced and shaped the language.,4,
