HETEROGENEITY OF BILINGUAL LINGUISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS: NATURE AND CRITERIA

Abstract

The research reveals the features of linguistic consciousness in the context of ideas about the semioticization of the facts of reality by bilinguals. The article emphasizes that under the influence of extralinguistic reality and the consciousness of a native speaker, the noospheric continuum is formed, which is characterized by interlingual mutual influences. The relationship between the processes of linguistic and cultural adaptation of a bilingual and the violation of the homogeneity of his linguistic consciousness is indicated. The phenomenon of heterogeneity of bilingual linguistic consciousness is associated with the formation of a metaconceptual and metalinguistic picture of the world. It is concluded that the semiotic sphere of a bilingual is a result of convergence, both conceptual and linguistic. The paper proposes the principles determining the linguistic noosphere of the bilingual, with its particular property of heterogeneity. The authors emphasize the complexity of bilingual language as a dynamic system, which is synergetic and non-linear.
