(1) Language materializes thought and allows humans to communicate needs and ideas, forming a dialectical unity with thought, according to Vygotsky. (2) Society is composed of shared ways of acting, feeling, and thinking that are inherited between generations and shape individual existence, as Durkheim argued. (3) Cultural identity refers to the unique characteristics of a people or community, such as economic and political organization, that distinguish them and give a region its personality, according to Ortega.

LANGUAGE, SOCIETY AND CULTURAL IDENTIDITY (265-1)

DUVAN JAIR PALACIOS

Language;
Language has historically been the materialization of thought, in other words it means, that
what we produce in our brains is the first step to communicate/express something, for one
the most important Russian psychologists, Vygotski (1954) language is;
“The material basis of the thought. However, the detailed study of psychological
activity, both normal as pathological, shows that both terms, thought and language,
form one dialectical unity and at certain moments they enter into contradiction, for
example, when an inadequate verbal form hinders the course of thought”

In this way, we have to be concerned about the link between thought and talk, not just with
system word but with anything that can help us to make others understand our needs, it
becomes also, in a tool for surviving, this is visible in animal groups, in somehow they
produce kinesthetic movements and sound to express their necessities.
Society;
This complex issue covers a lot of the matters out of the subject, it is all developed in the
objectivity world, and not in the perception of the person, it can be altered by the
conjunction of the totality, it is also inherited from generation to generation suffering the
axiological changes of (d)evolution. To reinforce this idea the French sociologist and
philosophy Durkheim (1987), who says;
“Society is the ways of acting, feeling and thinking, external to the individual,
which coerce him and facilitate action and is inherited. This way of seeing society
implies that it is beyond individual existence”.
Cultural Identity;
The difference between 2 cultures are mainly recognized for the way how they organize
(economic, politicly, etc.) and other ethnical issues, but is this difference what makes us say
that a group of people is not the same to other, these particularities shapes identity in social
circles, about this Ortega (2017) says;
“Mainly that cultural identity refers to the most relevant and autochthonous
characteristics of a region, a people or a community. That which makes that territory
a unique place, with personality”
