This thesis deals with the relation between culture and language from an ethnolinguistic or anthropolinguistic view. Ethnolinguistics is a field of linguistics which studies the relationship between language and culture, and the way different ethnic groups perceive the world. By those means it is closely related to anthropolinguistics which is the study of the relations between language and culture, and human biology, cogniton and language. According to many theories of linguistics, for this thesis we have used these two studies as synonims. As the best example of how a language can influance culture and thought, we have decided to study the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis makes the claim that the structure of the language one habitually uses influences the manner in which one thinks and behaves. Finally, we have also explained the strong and weak version of the hypothesis, critiques and the well earned approval this theory has found.
