Language And Culture: A Study In The Sociolinguistic Perspective

Abstract

Language is a life line for the whole of humanity and, culture ensures social as well as communal identity to the people of different communities and societies on the face of Earth. Both language and culture are constantly connected to each other and continuously influence each other because of multiple social factors. The study in hand connects the theoretical threads to highlight the relationship between language and culture. Among different genres of literature fiction may be referred to as a rich manifestation of integration and amalgamation of language and culture. The discussion owns some references to this genre and finally concludes that it is difficult rather impossible for a writer to exclude his/her cultural influences in his/her linguistic productivity.
