the ways in which individuals from Eastern and Western cultures perceive and understand the world diverge significantly, and these differences are deeply embedded in their languages. Eastern cultures, often influenced by philosophies such as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, emphasize collectivism, fluidity, and interconnectedness. In contrast, Western cultures, shaped by Cartesian rationalism and individualism, focus on the self, linear progression, and objectivity. This paper explores how these divergent worldviews shape language structures, communication styles, and linguistic expressions, particularly in the context of English, a language spoken globally. By comparing the linguistic nuances that arise from these cultural worldviews, the study seeks to highlight the ways language acts as both a reflection of cultural beliefs and a medium for shaping cognitive processes. The findings underscore the crucial role of worldview in language learning, translation, and cross-cultural communication.
