is the idea that there is a necessary tie between language and culture such that you cannot really know a language if you do not know also the culture expressed by that language.

When Agar talks about languaculture, he defines it as the necessary tie between language and culture.[1] He underlines that languages and cultures are always closely related and it is not possible to distinguish languages from cultures. Therefore you cannot really know a language if you do not know also the culture expressed by that language. (WIKI)
