Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), , language: English, abstract: Culture is a value-network, which the expression of meaning is inevitably linked to language. Therefore, culture and language are inseparable. Yet, is language purely expressing our thoughts? In his book "On Language: The Diversity of Human Language Structure and its Influence on the Mental Development of Mankind", Wilhelm von Humboldt, a German philosopher, linguist, diplomat and educator, pointed out for the first time that, the nature of language influences the worldview of a nation (German: Weltanschauung).

Only some relevant theories will be extracted to apply on the interpretation of the relationship between language and thought.
