TOLERANCE OF THE SECOND-LANGUAGE SELF IN INTERCULTURAL AND INTERLINGUAL COMMUNICATION
Abstract
In the context of rapid globalization and migration, linguistic and cultural pluralism is becoming the social norm, requiring effective interaction to maintain social cohesion and sustainable development. The article examines in detail the linguocultural aspects of tolerance, the structure of the “second linguistic self” and the role of positive ethnic identity in a multipolar world. Particular attention is paid to the stages of interaction: from simple recognition of differences to deep cultural interconnection. The results of the study demonstrate that the formation of a tolerant personality through modern pedagogical models, which harmoniously combine linguistic and extralinguistic knowledge, is a necessary condition for progress. The author concludes that a true “dialogue of cultures” is possible only through the preservation of one’s own national roots and simultaneous openness to other worldviews. Such an approach ensures genuine mutual enrichment among communication participants and promotes peaceful coexistence in a diverse and dynamic world.
