1. It is often said that language and culture are closely related. But linguists are still debating whether culture is responsible for shaping language, or if it is the other way around. What remains a fact is that the use of a language is definitely culture-related. Some linguists believe that an individual’s way of thinking is formed by language. The effect the language exerts on an individual can even put a limit on the ideas and thoughts of people and even their conduct.

2. Linguistic markers can have an effect on the perception of people, according to communication scholars. Linguistic markets are speech features that may be used to indicate the social identity of a person. There are studies regarding how women speak. Some markers may be for uncertainty, saying that most women end their speech with tag questions. Women, they say, are fond of using qualifiers such as perhaps and maybe, and often include disclaimers when they speak. They are also fond of using a variety of colours while speaking, such as lilac or aqua or baby pink, instead of using standard colour works like blue or yellow or orange.

3. The origin of language is something that will perhaps remain obscure forever. It has been the subject of many debates, but, no one has come up with a specific answer of where language came from. This is vastly different from the study of the origin of the different languages, so you must not confuse the former with the latter. Language forms different connections that determine its use.
