There are two kinds of formulation in the study of language and culture: "The language in the language and culture" and "cultural". In order to define the relationship between language and other cultural phenomena, and some linguists culture is divided into two major areas, "culture" and "small culture" (Bright, 1976). Among them, the relationship of language and cultural affiliation, and with little culture side by side relationship.
Language is a special part of the culture. Culture as an all-encompassing look at the overall concept, the language belongs to the general culture of mankind, that is the great cultural aspects. But it is rather special position in the overall culture, small cultural relations with other components in the overall culture that corresponds to.
