Pedagogical issues of the philosophy of language in the sociocultural contexts: language and identity

Abstract

Philosophers and scientists have been examining the connection between thought and language for three thousand years, whether language evolved from thought or vice versa. Whatever the truth, all theories agree that our language, our culture and our identity are inextricably linked. In the paper, the questions of how language influences our way of thinking, our culture and our identity, how our language develops under the influence of constant changes in our environment will be answered.
