Abstract

[Extract] There is no straightforward answer to the question of how language relates to culture and cognition. In broad terms, this question has been answered from two different perspectives within linguistics. Formalist approaches, such as generative syntax, consider language as an autonomous, disembodied, and computational code that mirrors cognition, and tend to disregard culture from the study of language. Conversely, non-formalist approaches, such as linguistic anthropology, cognitive linguistics, and cultural linguistics, treat language as an embodied and socially embedded phenomenon that is grounded on social action, and mediates conceptualization. According to this view, language, culture, and cognition interrelate.
