Keywords:

Mifology, the study of myths and their functions within cultural contexts, offers profound insights into the linguistic dimensions of human societies. This article explores how myths serve as a medium for encoding cultural values, social norms, and collective identities through language. By analyzing various linguistic elements within mythological narratives, including narrative structure, symbolism, and language use, we reveal how myths shape and reflect cultural consciousness. We examine the role of myths in preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating cross-cultural communication. This study underscores the interrelationship between mythology and language, highlighting how linguistic analysis can enhance our understanding of mythological content and its impact on societies.
