1. The cognitive dimension, people has shared culture knowledge  by members of group.  It includes the assumption and beliefs societies make a reality, the nature of the world and how it works. 

2. The affective  dimensions with reflected the culture in most areas of life with what people have to in our feelings. 

3. The evaluative dimension has to with values, it uses to judge in all types situations in there types are evaluates cognitive beliefs to determine their feelings, judges the emotional expression of human life and the values and determines in society right and wrong.

Thought covers a number of different types of mental activity and lies in domain of cognitive psychologist. The relation between thought and culture based on culture as socially acquired knowledge and it is on of a part of memory. Some parts of language are culture knowledge, since they have to be learned from others.

There are four points at which language makes contact with knowledge :

a.       Linguistic items are concepts and categories  we use to analyze our experience.

b.      Meanings are concepts. It is considerable controversy over the definition of meaning but widespread agreement of a linguistic is sense, what is permanent about relation to the world.

c.       Linguistically relevant social categories are concepts. People have particular concepts a typical speaker of typical situation.

d.      Sentence meaning are propositions, because linguistic are stored in memory have concepts as their meaning. The sentences formed by combining linguistic express propositions.

As for the relation between language and culture, most language in contained within culture. So it would not be far from the truth to say  a society’s language is an  aspect of its culture.
