  Language is not only a means of communication but it has also changed into a social and cultural basis in its evolution direction that contains facilities and limitations for recognizing, establishing and directing social, legal and cultural relations. In this study, the facilities and limitations of language were analyzed in the beam of language relativity theory perspective to survey some proofs in the field of sociology and anthropology of language which are the effects of language on ideology, social and cultural relations and cognitive direction of the speakers of that language. The language relativity theory is established by sociolinguists such as Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf and claims that the direction of thought, cognition, object classification, ideology, judgment, and reasoning in natural, biological, social, legal and cultural categories are affected by the structure and content of the linguistic elements of the speakers of that language. In the current study, the foregoing claim of this theory is surveyed considering the proofs in the field of language sociology and anthropology. Manuscript profile
