CHARACTERISTICS OF VERBAL AND COGNITIVE PROCESS OF THE BILINGUAL LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY
The article describes the results of a study aimed at identifying the characteristics of the verbal and cognitive process of the bilingual linguistic personality. The work considers the concept of the bilingualism and problem aspects of this phenomenon. The characteristics of the linguistic personality, which are associated with cognitive activity and affect the formation of speech habits, are explained. The material of the study is answers to questions of 24 respondents, which help to understand in detail the mental processes caused by the bilingual perception of the linguistic reality. The subjectivism of the bilingual linguistic personality, the self-reflection of the verbal and cognitive process, helped to analyze the understanding of the process (which is often uncontrollable and therefore difficult to study), associated with translation and transition of one language to another in the mind of an individual.
