Language and music are essential facets of the human experience and, as such, are unique in being ubiquitous throughout cultures. This paper is an attempt to apply the theory of linguistic relativity, which holds that language and culture are mutually reflective and generative, to the relationship between music and culture. Since both language and music are communicative devices and often affect one another, this paper compares and contrasts these two cultural products as well as suggests implications for further exploration of the interface of these two universal social constructs and the human cultures which produced them.
