My Conclusion
Language and culture are so inseparably related to each other in our life that their relationships are easily discussed. Representative of its discussion is the influence of one on the another. This idea is included in Whofian Theory, and called linguistic-cultural parallelism. Among its categories, I agreed on the argument that language affects culture more than vice versa. Although many cultural anthropologists criticize that cultural influence on language is bigger than former one, there are some reasons why linguistic influence on culture is more significant. The most inclusive reason is that language is a part of culture. Language contributes to formation and transformation of culture. In addition, people express their mind by language or behavior and these things affect every thing in society. It means, without language, people could not form or develop their own culture. The significant role of language is in analyzing human, ourselves. Namely, developed studies on language could even apprehend every thing related to human. Culture is one of the things they already discover, I argue. Because people psychologically desires communication, it is natural that language plays a significant role in either forming or affecting culture definitely.
