Cultures around the world have their individual traditions, beliefs, and norms
that make them unique. Language is something that studies how each user
uses its language to

identity differently How they

use words, rules and

knowledge about language and its use of categorization to communicate with


speakers. This understanding of language let us know who we are, how we
perceive others. Identity is not as simply as body of knowledge to be learnt but
as a social practice in which to participate (Kamesh, 1994). Language is
something that people do in their daily lives and something they use to
express, create and interpret meanings and to establish and maintain social
and interpersonal relationships. I will discuss both points of view and express
my own opinion.
By one hand, the first essential way we have to establish our identity is through
how we use language, the relation between language and social identity is not
direct but it is mediated by sociocultural understandings which structuring
particular social identities such as: how we speak (our accent), addressing (the
way we use and classify word uses) and how we behave, this explain how
people use language for purposeful communication and learning this involves
their traditions.
Furthermore, understanding the nature of the relationship between language
and culture is more importantly inside of the process that takes within
intercultural perspective. It means learnings that all human beings are shaped
by their cultures and that communicating across cultures involves accepting
differences, we are culturally conditioned and thats how

how language simultaneously arises out of its used to construct sociocultural
