GERMAN LANGUAGE IN THE ETHNOLINGUISTIC SITUATION IN THE SOCIO-COMMUNICATIVE SPACE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the German language in the ethno-linguistic situation in the socio-communicative space of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The problem of the functioning of languages in a multiethnic state and the achievement of mutual understanding between peoples with different cultures and languages are constantly in the center of attention of sociolinguists, political scientists, public and statesmen. They become especially significant in the context of globalization and integration of cultures due to the fact that the issue of preserving the originality of the cultures and languages of peoples is urgent.

The study of nationally specific features in German-foreign language intercultural communication shows the inadequacy of the speech behavior of Germans and Kazakhs, since these ethnic groups are characterized by a peculiar culture. To adapt one ethnic group to another culture, it is necessary to overcome ethnocentrism and show a sense of tolerance to another language and culture.

Peoples living in a multilingual society feel the social need to choose a second language, the need to master the corresponding culture of other people. Thanks to the processes of intercultural communication and intercultural interaction, the communicant enters another linguocultural community, the main means of which can be the native language, as well as other languages that are mastered during a person's life.
