Authors
Abstract
The present paper defines the notion of language and its role of sharing and influencing the aspects of social
reality. The terms like cognition, affect and social behaviour are very closely viewed for the understanding of
social reality in the relationship between language and mind in a psychological perspective point of view. This
paper also highlights the relation of linguistic universals with linguistic relativity in a philosophical manner.
More about the perspectives that; how mind has created ideas about reality. What is the role/process of language
in this regard; is symbols refer for the external appearance or any other verbal communication? Indeed, the
paper also focuses on the process of cognition. Cognition is considered to be the process of predicting external
appearance that has no measly understanding. Language-cognition relationship occurs with the progression of
mind and these neurons will create an image of the external world (social world) through the medium of
language.
