A sociocultural perspective on human action places the essence of social life in communication. Everything that human beings do and perform in their lives, like articulating and managing their individual identities, their interpersonal relationships, and their memberships in communities, is thanks to the use of language.
As we have seen, the structures of our linguistic resources already come with meaning, and these meanings don't come from universal principles but from different communities who have used them in the past. In other words, the linguistic resources and the values associated with them, are due to the construction of particular groups who have had a considerable amount of sociopolitical authority through time, and due to the fact that few questioned their use over time, such authority was institutionalised.And the same thing happens now.

However, it is not the case that the meanings of our resources always go unquestioned. For we often make conscious choices about the words and expressions we want to use and, when we do this, we decide on a particular way of introducing particular ways of maintening our cultural individuality.
Besides, from a sociocultural perspective, language is not a theory of linguistic systems. Neither it is a theory of universal culture, but the development of a theory of social interaction, that is centrally concerned with how we live our lives through our everyday communicative activities, how we link each meaning with its respective emotional situations, like happiness, grafulness, sadness, fearfulness or peace. How do we know do this? When we interact with society and by expressing our individuality, using our written, oral, and body language.
In the contextual form have sociocultural components, where to dynamise the languages, in the conceptual form establish the senses to create its frame as un internal function. Being more specific the language as a sociocultural resource is marked into insight of community and can´t be separate to it, unless that the community disappear , because the language is connected with environment of community, because across of it, to make cultural identity with individual and collective feature, then users establish their cultural relationship through roles and possibilities.
