Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the concepts of culture, interculturality, language, thought, mediation and how they (inter)relate in the global society. A special attention is given to the relationship between language and culture and, in this respect, important examples are provided. Also, we outline the catalyst role of linguistic and cultural mediators in the global society as they can interpret and communicate the socio-cultural context to ensure an effective communication between foreign speaking people/immigrants and institutions in the host country which provide education, social services and standard care in the field of health care.
