THE WORLDVIEW OF A BILINGUAL PERSONALITY: LINGUO-COGNITIVE FEATURES
The article analyzes the linguo-cognitive specificity of the worldview of the bilingual language personality. Bilingualism is a complex psycholinguistic phenomenon and is considered by modern language science in close connection with the concepts of linguistic consciousness, linguistic personality, since language is a way of thinking and a means of communication, and also represents the worldview of ethnos and linguistic personality. It is concluded that the bilingual linguistic personality is a phenomenon characterized by the interaction in the human linguistic consciousness of social and linguistic forms and norms of two different groups with different cultural and socio-political characteristics. At the same time, on the one hand, these are linguistic categories of the native language or that “of the mother”, acquired in a natural way, on the other hand, the foreign or native language, but secondary-learned. The recognition of the possibility of forming a full-fledged bilingual personality makes it advisable to study native and non-native languages in close connection with culture. The data obtained contribute to the determination that the language always exists as a means of self-expression of a nation, its mentality, spirit and spirituality, the development of the world around it, and that the bilingual person combines in its linguistic consciousness two linguistic worldviews, which correspond to two languages he speaks almost at the same level.
