DYNАMIC NАTURE ОF LАNGUАGE АND CULTURE
Keywords:
dynamic language, cultural change, lexical evolutionAbstract
This article explores the dynamic nature of language and its intrinsic relationship with culture, emphasizing the continuous processes of evolution, adaptation, and transformation within linguistic systems. Language is not a static entity; it reflects historical, social, and cultural developments, simultaneously shaping and being shaped by human experience. The study examines mechanisms of lexical change, including the emergence of neologisms, the obsolescence of archaic forms, and the functional redistribution of active and passive vocabulary layers. Special attention is given to the interaction between linguistic innovation and cultural values, demonstrating how shifts in society, technology, and ideology influence both language use and cultural expression. By analyzing theoretical perspectives from contemporary linguistics, sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology, the article underscores the role of language as a dynamic cultural tool that transmits knowledge, identity, and heritage across generations.
