LEXICAL FEATURES OF CULTURAL TERMS: STRUCTURE, WORD FORMATION, AND SYNONYMY.

Abstract

This paper is about the words we use to talk about culture in English. It looks at how these cultural terms are made up how new words are formed and how they are related to each other especially when they mean the same thing. Cultural terms are words that describe things that're unique to a particular society. They show us what a country is, like what people do and what happened in the past. By looking at the structure and meaning of these words we can see how they express the character of a culture and how this is preserved even when we use different words to say the same thing. Cultural terms are important because they reflect the identity of a nation, its social habits and its history. The examples we look at are from the language and sometimes we compare them to other languages. This is done to show that the way we form words related to culture is something that happens everywhere but something that is unique to each place. We want to see how cultural lexicon formation works in the language and how it is the same or different, in other languages.
