Abstract:
This article examines the complex relationship between cultural variations and cross-linguistic lexicalization in Chinese and English. The cultural lenses through which speakers view the world affect lexicalization, which differs among languages. This study uses a multidimensional framework to analyze how cultural differences affect Chinese and English idea expressions. This study examines color, family, and emotional language to show how cultural differences affect linguistic choices. The study examines how cultural differences affect lexical, metaphorical, and idiomatic choices in both languages is also examined in this study. The research uses corpus analysis and case studies to show when cultural sensitivity makes some ideas more easily lexicalized in one language than the other. It also discusses culturally distinctive phrases and their effects on communication and language development. The article uses linguistic analysis and cultural studies to show that culture specifications lead to language-specific lexicalizations, which makes translation, intercultural dialogue, and language learning difficult. By highlighting these complex interactions, this work enhances cross-cultural communication and linguistic theory by revealing how culture and language interact.
