ETHNOLINGUISTIC FACTOR IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERCULTURAL INTERACTION IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS
In this article we examine the notion of «ethnolinguistic factor» and its role in modern inter-ethnic processes. The author considers the ethnolinguistic factor as a mechanism of stabilisation of the social development; as a means of formation of a new communicative space of the modern civilization; as the most significant condition of cross-cultural communication in the North Caucasus. Inter-ethnic accord is possible to achieve through generalization of practical experience taking into consideration ethno-linguistic features as a result of cross-cultural interaction in the North Caucasus.
