Linguistic representation of cultural dimensions

Culture is the collective programming of the mind by which the members of a group are distinguished from one another. Romanian thinking assigned a special role to language in the configuration of national identity. Language is an essential element in a cultural system, the main tool for knowledge and development of the outside world, penetrating into all spheres of society. The vocabulary of a language reflects the culture of its speakers. Education through culture teaches the speaker to recognize and understand already formulated problems that are others’. It is good for education to first ensure young people an entry into their own culture, into the space of their cultural community, and only then to integrate into macro-type communities. For the Romanian people, the language represents the cradle of ethnogenesis and continuity, the awareness of its origins.
