Intercultural and globalization factors in the development of multilingualism

Keywords: Language, bilingualism, dynamics, forecast, globalization processes, mindrulinguism.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine multilingualism in Ukraine with the identification of intercultural and globalization factors. The study involved statistical methods and comparative analysis. It was established that the phenomenon of multilingualism is characteristic of the Ukrainian people. During the period of its establishment, Ukraine was constantly under the socio-cultural influence of neighbouring states, which showed elements of chauvinistic ascendancy. However, the typical combinations of languages that were characteristic of multilingual groups of the population of Ukraine are being transformed in accordance with the current requirements. In particular, an increased influence of the official languages of the international community is recorded. The phenomenon of multilingualism for the Ukrainian people is contradictory, as it is mostly artificial, caused by intercultural factors of foreign countries. However, technological development, globalization processes and Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations form the basis for a fundamental change in attitudes towards this phenomenon and the use of multilingualism as an advantage of Ukrainian society. Further research is aimed at obtaining the concept of systemic solutions for the positive use of the multilingualism of the Ukrainian people, in particular through the implementation of language combinations using languages recognized by the international society.
