跪求the relationship of language and culture

What is the relationship between language and culture? What role does culture play with language? In any culture or region, language is much more than semantics, much more than what the written page or the spoken word can contain。 This especially becomes clear when studying a foreign language and learning the ways of a particular culture。 For example, the use of introductions, salutations, everyday sayings, etc。 This area in particular gives more weight to culture then to the words themselves。 Anyone studying a foreign language has to be bicultural as well as bilingual to speak the new language in a way that it is not disparaging to the culture and its origin。 Language does not end at the meaning or the use of words associated to a culture" words represent beliefs, history, and the culture of their origin and they must be used accordingly。As we all know, language is closely related to culture and can be said as a part of culture。 From a dynamic view, language and culture interact with each other and shape each other。 Language is the carrier of culture which in turn is the content of language。 We can dig out cultural features from language and explain language phenomena with culture。 Idioms as a special form of language exist in both of them and carry a large amount of cultural information such as history, geography, religion, custom, nationality psychology, thought pattern and etc, and therefore are closely related to culture。 They are the heritage of history and product of cultural evolvement。 Consequently, we can know much about culture through studying idioms and in turn get better understanding of idioms by learning the cultural background behind them。
