Language characteristics of intercultural communication

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the study of intercultural communication, its features, as well as the problems and prospects of cross-cultural communication. The development of anthropological paradigm in linguistics at the end of the XX-th century gave new directions for research in the humanities as «person –language – culture», «person – language – thinking.» Nowadays, many scientific studies pay much attention to the anthropological factor, as well as to the study of the correct use of the linguistic units’ meanings by native speakers. To consider language and linguistic units in the unity to the human factor and human values in unity is a new trend in modern linguistics today. Problems and prospects of intercultural communication are also relevant today as a new direction in science. In this article we have tried to reveal some aspects of intercultural communication and to give answers to topical questions.
