Bilingual Picture of the World in the Formation of Linguistic Identity of the Learner's Personality

Introduction. The sustainable development of the university educational environment is connected with the issues of preservation and multiplication of linguistic and cultural diversity. Networking and academic mobility enrich the university setting. Bilingualism becomes an increasingly widespread phenomenon, articulating the question of self-identification of the author of a bilingual text.

Objective. The study analyses bilingual texts in the context of the role they play in the formation of the learner's worldview and their perception of linguistic and cultural diversity.

Materials and Methods. In the first stage of the study, the texts of the novel by G. Braschi "Yo-yo boing!" (1998) and the popular science work by M. Kopatz "Schluss mit der Ökomoral! Wie wir die Welt retten, ohne ständig daran zu denken" (2019) were analyzed. At this stage, linguistic, component, distributional and linguodidactic analysis was applied. The attitude of a group of students towards bilingual texts was then evaluated using the reflective method.

Results. Specific types of code-switching in Spanglish and Denglish translingual idioms are shown. It was revealed that the most frequent type of code-switching occurs between words and phrases. The second most significant is intra-sentential code-switching. Finally, there is intersentential code-switching. In the context of analyzing the linguodidactic potential of bilingual texts in translation and intercultural communication classes, it is determined that the vast majority of the respondent learners have changed their perceptions and attitudes towards bilingualism and linguistic diversity.

Discussion. Bilingual texts are an important source of information for the development of the linguistic picture of the world and cultural identification of a modern student, as well as an interesting and non-standard linguodidactic resource. The use of such texts in translation and intercultural communication classes fosters an inclusive environment, embraces academic mobility, and expands students' understanding of the richness of languages and cultures.
