 LANGUAGE TROUGHT AND CULTURE
 Language and culture
 It has been seen that language is much more than the
external expression and communication of internal
thoughts formulated independently of their verbalization.
 Anthropologists speak of the relations between
language and culture. It is indeed more in accordance with
reality to consider language as a part of culture. Culture is
here being used, as it is throughout this article, in the
anthropological sense, to refer to all aspects of human life
insofar as they are determined or conditioned by
membership in a society.
 Although the faculty of language acquisition and
language use is innate and inherited, and there is
legitimate debate over the extent of this innateness, every
individual’s language is “acquired by man as a member of
society,” along with and at the same time as other aspects
of that society’s culture in which people are brought up.
Thought

Mind or thought is a mental tool of thinking. The mind process is

the brain's response of what has happened today, the present and
the future. Mind or thought made humans to think about
everything, and the result is expressed in speech or action to
notice the other peoples, and to realize that we used language.
Any three steps of thinking process that is :
1. Make formation of concept about something in we are mind, in
this step we analyze the characteristics of some objects.
2. Forming the opinion about that, in this step we make and
arrange the concept of idea in language with a sentence.
3. Make conclusion and forming the decision, in this step we make
conclusion about the opinion. Any three kinds of opinion that is:
agreement, disagreement, and analogical (comparison).
Language
Language is media and results of the human mind. That is
used to communicate, either like through written, oral
speech, or body movement (sign language).
Language in general can be interpreted as a symbol of
the human vocal system that used as a tool for thinking,
forming we are mind, and to understand the mind of other
person (Kunjana Rahadi, 2001:159). With language we can
think about all objects in this world, the concrete and
abstract objects that are not only near with us but also far
away from us. With symbol abstract language, people can
think about something constantly and then bequeathing the
experience to the next generations. With language we can
also learn something from the other people.
Culture
Culture is things that related to the mind and human reason. Culture
is the result of the creativity and thinking of each member in
language community.
Culture is derived from the Latin word Colere mean the process or
work. Culture is very closely connected with the society. Malville J.
Bronislaw Mlinowski Herkovits, suggested that everything contained
in the society is determined by the culture of the society itself.
According the various definitions, we can make conclusion.
Culture is the result of human thought which will affect the level of
knowledge and the system of ideas contained in the human mind, so
it make the culture is abstract. The manifestation of culture is such
as behavior and real things, example language is human life
equipment to communicate with other human beings or other living
creatures.
Conclusion

The culture of each nation is always different in all the time

as long as the language is also in different. When a person
is not a good mastery of the language, the people's minds
will not qualify either. If the quality of a person's mind is
not good, the people will not be optimal to thinking and
creativity in create the culture. In other words, when the
language of a community is not controlled properly, the
cultural of society that not be born properly.
Culture will be optimal to progress and developed when
thinking process of society is organized. Thinking process
of society can organized if the language acquisition in
society is also qualified.
