The use of language in interaction entails more than simply exchanging information about realistic ideas and objects amongst people; it is an important process, in which the relationships among people have outlined and negotiated. Any language refers to a particular culture, so learning any language does not mean learning only the grammar and the vocabulary of this language, but in fact, it is learning the behaviour and the customs of society as well as the characteristics that distinguish this community from others. There are no similar languages to the same extent as the social reality. We know that being aware of the culture is like being aware of the language so that we know that they are homogeneous psychological facts. Communication between people happens through direct linguistic messages and other messages that denoted by cultural features that are only understanding through the knowledge of the patterns specific to the society that produced them. The ideal and complex relationship between language and culture shows us that language is closely related to culture that influences each other, develops together and ultimately forming what it is to be human. Therefore, taking part in conversations, people consciously or unconsciously show their identities, their belongings to a specific culture or group and also their tendencies to become close or distant from others. By using language, people define their relationships to each other and identify themselves as part of a social group, implying that language is culture and culture is language.

Использование языка во взаимодействии влечет за собой нечто большее, чем просто обмен информацией о реалистичных идеях и объектах между людьми; это важный процесс, в котором отношения между людьми излагаются и обсуждаются. Любой язык относится к определенной культуре, поэтому изучение любого языка не означает изучение только грамматики и лексики этого языка, но на самом деле это изучение поведения и обычаев общества, а также характеристик, которые отличают это сообщество от других. Общение между людьми происходит через прямые языковые послания и другие послания, обозначаемые культурными особенностями, которые понимаются только через знание специфических для общества закономерностей, которые их породили. Идеальные и сложные отношения между языком и культурой показывают нам, что язык тесно связан с культурой, которые влияют друг на друга, развиваются вместе и в конечном итоге формируют то, что значит быть человеком. Поэтому, принимая участие в беседах, люди сознательно или бессознательно показывают свою идентичность, свое отношение к определенной культуре или группе, а также свое намерение сблизиться или отделить себя от других людей. Используя язык, люди определяют свои отношения друг с другом и идентифицируют себя как часть социальной группы, подразумевая, что язык - это культура, а культура - это язык.
