1. Introduction
As
we
all
know
that
different
countries
have
different
cultures,
and
also
different
language. Language
and culture are interdependent and interactional.
Language is one
of
the
most
important
carriers
of
culture.
On
the
other
hand,
culture
have
a
great
impact on language,
that is culture conditioning.
Language
plays
a
very
important
role
in
all
human
activity.
It’s
one
of
the
indispensable part of the social life
of human. You can not imagine the world would
be without language. Nevertheless, the
phenomenon of human language is so mystical
that people do not acquaint it entirely
so far.
Culture is the product of
social life and national spirit. In other words,
culture is the
genetic
code
of
difference
among
the
various
nation,
country
and
region.
Every
country has its own culture formation
and individuality. This special culture is one of
the most important source of affinity
and cohesion of a country. For this reason, we
must protect and develop the culture of
the various nation, country and region, keep
variety of our global culture.
2. Relationship between language and
culture
Relationship between language
and culture can be summarized as the following:
(1). Language is part of
culture. Like other cultural phenomenon, language
is also a
social phenomenon, it
occurred with the production of society, and
develops with the
development of
society. The language is with nationality,
different nationalities often
have
different languages;
Language is also
human creation.
It is the most
important
spiritual wealth of human
society .We can say that language has all the
attributes of
culture, so language is
also a kind of culture, one of the many cultural
phenomenons.
The
human
language
is
not
only
an
integral
part
of
culture,
and
also
the
most
important part.
(2).Language is the main
carrier of culture. Although language is part of
culture, other
cultural
phenomenon
generally
can't
exist
being
independent
from
language.
Only
through language, culture can be
preserved, extended and spread.
