What is Anthropolinguistics ?
Linguistic anthropology is the

interdisciplinary study of how
language influences social
life.Linguistic anthropologists
investigate the relationship between
communication and culture. They
ask: "What is the message?", "How is
it formed?" and "What is its cultural
meaning?". Linguistic anthropologists
study the diversity of the world's
languages and the diversity of
language use and other forms of
communication in societies around the
world (Lin, 2004).
How Language Language can reveal more things
than we might assume. Language is
Reflects Culture the tool with which living beings
communicate with each other. It
includes many aspects, grammar,
characters, logic, special jargons and
many more. Culture, in other words,
is the customs, art, achievements, and
values of a particular group of
people, and cultural aspects usually,
if not always, gets imbedded into the
language of that culture.
The idea that language reflects the culture of its
speakers suggests also that areas of linguistic
emphasis, such as those in the Inuit example, reflect
Cultural Emphasis
areas of cultural emphasis. In other words, if there

are lots of different words for snow in a language,
then snow is probably an important aspect of the
culture of the speakers of that language an area of
cultural emphasis (Ottenheimer & Pine, 2019).
Ethnosemantics is defined as “the scientific
study of the ways in which people label and
classify the social, cultural, and
Ethnosemiotics
environmental phenomena of their world”,

added that ethnosemantic studies are
important to discover and “find universal
constraints on the ways in which humans
deal linguistically with their environments”
(Al-Husseini, 2016).
The relationship between language
and culture is deeply rooted.
Language is used to maintain and
convey culture and cultural ties.
The Influence Different ideas stem from differing
language use within one’s culture
Of Language and the whole intertwining of these
relationships start at one’s birth.
On Culture When an infant is born, it is not
unlike any other infant born, in fact,
quite similar. It is not until the child
is exposed to their surroundings
that they become individuals in and
of their cultural group.
● The principle of linguistic relativity holds that the structure of a language affects the
ways in which its respective speakers conceptualize their world, i.e. their world view, or
otherwise influences their cognitive processes. Popularly known as the Sapir–Whorf
hypothesis, or Whorfianism, the principle is often defined as having two versions: the
Linguistics Relativity
strong version that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and
determine cognitive categories and the weak version that linguistic categories and usage
influence thought and certain kinds of non-linguistic behavior. The term "Sapir–Whorf
Hypothesis" is a misnomer, as Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf never co-
authored anything, and never stated their ideas in terms of a hypothesis. The distinction
between a weak and a strong version of the hypothesis is also a later invention, as Sapir
and Whorf never set up such a dichotomy, although often in their writings their views of
this relativity principle are phrased in stronger or weaker terms. The relationship
between language and culture is complex. It is relatively easy to talk about how different
languages carve up and name the world differently (linguistic relativity).
Language should be and has been
conceptualized in thought. A
philosophy is one of disciplines that
can work of such conceptualization.
Language, Philosophy is a discipline that study

and investigate everything in
common and specific that refers to
Culture, principle or basic concept of thought
of all being not exist yet, being exist,
Thought and will be being exist which is its
existence is referring to the noble
and wise goals (Stanlaw, 2018).
