Keywords: culture;language;cultural linguistics

Summary/Abstract: We propose a current debate in linguistics regarding the existence of essential differences in interpreting reality for each language, where cultural manifestations influence the way of thinking, perceiving, and expressing the surrounding reality of a linguistic group. Starting from the premise that, at an individual level, there are intersubjective differences in interpreting the world, it is logical to assume that such variations exist among speakers of different languages.
