NATIONAL-CULTURAL FACTORS IN LANGUAGES WITH DIFFERENT SYSTEMS
Keywords:
national-cultural factors, language typology, analytic languages, synthetic languages, agglutinative languages, cultural linguistics, pragmaticsAbstract
This study explores how national-cultural factors influence languages belonging to different typological systems: analytic, synthetic, and agglutinative. National culture—including traditions, values, social structures, and worldview—affects language structure, vocabulary, semantics, and pragmatics in distinctive ways. By analyzing English (analytic), Russian (synthetic), and Uzbek (agglutinative), this research demonstrates the interaction between cultural context and linguistic expression. The findings underscore the importance of cultural specificity in linguistic form and usage, highlighting challenges for cross-cultural communication, translation, and language education.
