语言与文化是如何相互影响的——基于生活实例的分析

Mutual Influence of Language and Culture——An Analysis Based on Real Cases

语言是人与人之间的一种交流方式,人们彼此的交往离不开语言;语言是文化的一部分,同时是文化的重要载体。文化影响、塑造和丰富着语言,并赋予语言特定的含义,语言与文化密不可分。一方面,从语言视角可以探究文化的特点;另一方面,也可从文化的视角,解释和分析语言现象。该文尝试基于生活实例,从文化视角来分析语言现象,文化如何影响语言,诸如对语言表达特点和方式的影响;同时从语言影响思维的视角,来分析语言如何影响文化。以期更加直观、形象地阐释语言与文化的密切关系,并从体认语言学视角来分析语言现象背后的语言认知生成机制,分析语言与文化是如何相互依存,相互影响甚至相互制约,共同演化的。

Language is a way of communication between people.People can’t well communicate without language.Language is both a part of culture and an important carrier of culture.Culture influences,shapes and enriches language,and endows it with specific meanings.Language and culture are inseparable.On the one hand,the characteristics of culture can be explored from the perspective of language;on the other hand,language phenomena can also be explained and analyzed from the perspective of culture.Language phenomena can be analyzed from the perspective of culture based on real cases:how culture influences language,such as the influence on the characteristics,and ways of language expression.At the same time,it analyzes how language influences culture from the perspective of language influencing thinking,so as to explain the close relationship between language and culture more directly and vividly.From the perspective of cognitive linguistics,this paper analyzes the generative mechanism of language cognition behind language phenomena,and analyzes how language and culture are interdependent,influence and even restrict each other and evolve together.
