What is the relationship between language and culture
【正确答案】：language and culture are closely intertwined. Language definitely reflects its culture; at the same time, language also plays a crucial role in the construction of the shared view of reality held by speakers of a common language. Altogether there are three major ways in which language helps shape our culture. First of all, language allows people to name the objects and events in the physical and social world. Second, particular cultures have unique ways of speaking and communication. Third, each language has some covert grammatical categories which may influence or even determine the way of thinking of its speakers.
