To the problem of formation of multilingual linguistic personality in the multicultural space of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article discusses the problems of the formation of a linguistic personality in the modern multicultural space of Kazakhstan. The authors, having studied theoretical concepts aimed at studying the «linguistic personality» in linguistics, analyze the linguistic and extralinguistic factors that influence the formation of the national linguistic identity, the second linguistic identity, the linguistic identity of the Eurasian type. The authors conclude that a modern specialist in the Eurasian space, a linguistic person in the multicultural space of Kazakhstan, a person with speech and cultural competencies, must speak at least three languages - the state language, the language of interethnic relations and the language of international relations, and for modern Kazakhstan such languages are Kazakh, Russian and English.
