Interpersonal discourse in the context of intercultural communication (on the example of the Khanty and Russian languages)

Abstract

Introduction: the article is devoted to the analysis of interpersonal communication of representatives of the Khanty and Russian cultures. The considered problems of interpersonal discourse of the Khanty and Russian peoples are connected with the search for universals of intercultural interaction, which can unite communicants not on the basis of rejecting the national specific, but on the basis of understanding the «other». Objective: Analyzing interpersonal discourse we can determine the relationship of the expression of the individuality’s inner world with other people. Considering the nature of speech activity we characterize the possible options for the development of foreign speakers’ interpersonal discourse as carriers of the Khanty language and representatives of the Russian language. Research materials: The Khanty and Russian interpersonal discourse in the context of intercultural communication, namely stereotypical language situations on the example of Khanty and Russian languages, became the research material. The study of speech communication through the prism of discourse has made its own adjustments to the interpretation of language and speech. Replacing the understanding of language as a system independent of reality, came the idea of language and speech, between which there is no clear boundary. Results and novelty of the research: The scientific article for the first time presents a study of the methods of intercultural communication of representatives of different ethnic groups. The article proves that the design of linguistic situations produces an adequate understanding of the actions of people and their causes, which largely determines the construction of relationships with another person.
