Culture

Partially overlapping systems of artefacts (e.g., social institutions, technology), meanings, practices and symbols (e.g., derived from myths) that are distributed throughout a given linguistic community, and which guide the shared life of individuals in different groups.  Language and sign systems play a central role in representing the meanings that are distributed throughout a culture.
