Abstract
This study investigates the complex link between language and worldview, emphasizing the ways in which linguistic patterns influence cultural axiologies. We investigate how language affects perception, cognition, and behaviour in cultural contexts, drawing on linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and cultural studies findings. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which holds that language both reflects and constrains cognition, influencing how people see and understand their environment, is at the centre of our investigation. The research was based on secondary data analysis to determine the research using E-views software and generated results, including descriptive statistics, unit root test analysis, the Dickey fuller test, and histogram and state analysis . We demonstrate the usefulness of comprehending this link using examples from cross-cultural communication, education, marketing, diplomacy, and technology. In an increasingly varied and interconnected world, acknowledging the impact of language on cultural worldview is crucial to short-term respect, understanding, and collaboration amongst people. Overall, research found a direct and significant link between language and worldview and found that structures shape cultural axiology. In addition, we stress the significance of linguistic variety as an indicator of the diversity of human culture and call for initiatives to protect and advance languages as archives of identity and cultural legacy. The research emphasizes the importance of language as a dynamic medium that transmits and constructs culture, profoundly influencing our identities, beliefs, and perceptions.
