| Summary: | This paper discusses how the relationship between language and culture occurs by using linguistic data in Malay and Indonesian languages. It also discusses the form of lexical usage particularly in time and numeral concepts, as well as gender lexicalization in both languages. The data are analysis by using anthropologicallinguistic approach of Kramsch’s theoretical framework that asserted language

The outcomes of these analysis indicate that language and culture is essential in categorizing the community experience and coding certain name of the reality. |
