Аннотация:
This article presents an extensive exploration of the interdisciplinary field of Culture and Language Studies, examining the deep and reciprocal relationship between linguistic structures, cognitive processes, and the formation of societal norms. The field is defined by the fundamental premise that language is not merely a transparent tool for communication, but rather an epistemological framework that actively shapes and reflects the cultural realities of its speakers. A detailed analysis is provided of core theoretical models, notably the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (linguistic relativity), and contemporary approaches in sociolinguistics and cognitive semantics. The article scrutinizes how cultural variables, such as collectivism versus individualism, influence lexical density, narrative structure, and the pragmatic use of language in diverse social contexts. Furthermore, it addresses the critical role of language in cultural transmission, identity construction, and the preservation of heritage, emphasizing the crucial implications of linguistic diversity and language endangerment in the face of globalization. The framework established herein underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary methods for a complete comprehension of human thought and social organization.
