Summary/Abstract: The article outlines the capacity of anthropological exploration of language enabling cross domains knowledge through the reconstruction of ideologies, beliefs, habits, traditions specific to the culture of social communities. The research opportunities opened by contextualized linguistic information are supported by communication functionality and non-neutral relationship between linguistic sign representing the world, the world itself and references. The language samples analyzed anthropologically bring forward the social and cultural nature of the linguistic information. The understanding and acknowledgement of the language accumulation of cultural values target the improvement and responsibility of the social behaviour (Hudson, 1980:2-4) expressed in the material nature of word. (Vâlcu, 2013: 33-46).
