Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article. The focus of cultural studies on language and cultural identity has a decisive influence on the formation of identity and its coexistence in the environment. In its turn, the culture can be studied as a system of values that are formed during communication in which language as cultural sign system is used as a means of communication. The methodology of the work is to use such techniques of the research as the study, analysis and synthesis in order to reveal the assumption about the similarity of languages to a closed-looped system. The research tries to prove that languages are what we might call the first science, which mankind have been studying. During a certain period of time people accumulate a huge stock of knowledge through communication, learn about the dynamics of the ecosystems, in which they coexist with local plants and animals. Scientific novelty of the research is to expand the relationship between the notions "culture" – "language" – "communication" as a form of consciousness that reflects a person's world, being the form of the human material and spiritual culture realization. Conclusion. Languages always realize through individuals "tied" to a particular area, the language and the territory being connected. Native speakers also always depend on the cultural context. As for example, different languages may include grammatical information about social status of the person.
