The paper explores how language shapes thought through theories like linguistic relativity, universal grammar, and sociocultural perspectives. Empirical studies on perception and bilingualism reveal both universal and culture-specific cognitive patterns. With implications for education, AI, and cross-cultural communication, the study also addresses ethical concerns in digital language use. Bridging linguistics, cognitive science, and technology, it focuses on language’s kernel role in shaping thought and global communication.
