Language emerges as a transformative force in contemporary consumer culture, functioning far beyond mere communication to become a complex mechanism of social construction and ideological reinforcement. This comprehensive research explores the intricate symbiosis between linguistic structures, marketing discourse, and consumer psychology, revealing how language systematically shapes, mediates, and perpetuates consumerist behaviors and identities. By analyzing multilayered linguistic strategies across diverse cultural contexts, the study uncovers the profound ways language creates, normalizes, and validates consumption as a fundamental social practice, demonstrating its role not just as a descriptive tool but as an active agent of cultural meaning-making.
