The Cultural and Integrative Role of the Symbolic System of Language and Communication in Determining the Social Policy of Ukraine: Interdisciplinary Globalization Discourse

Abstract

The relevance of the review study arises due to the need to understand the role of language communication in the era of globalization against the background of world economic, socio-political and environmental crises, when a new linguistic picture of the world, a new person and a new quality of life are being formed. In the process of research, we came to the conclusions that (1) clarifying the essence of language as a product of activity, and as the phenomenon of activity itself, showed that social political, ecological and economic processes, as well as problems are to a certain extent the products of linguistic phenomena. Taking these circumstances into account is a necessary condition for the development of Ukraine's social policy. (2) Today, it can be stated that the linguistic paradigmatic turn in the national Ukrainian discourse raised awareness of the importance of sign, language, thinking and culture to a new level, marked by close attention to the revival of Ukrainian ethnic culture in parallel with active intercultural communication against the general background of globalization. (3). Modern sociolinguistic research does not provide a clear picture of the nationalization of linguistic and communicative culture under the conditions of world globalization processes. Instead, it is safe to say that each epoch has its own language and its own specific possibilities of discourse. That is, language and language communication are both an interconnected whole organism and a dynamic, constantly changing, variable system that always creates a problem of understanding. And in periods when the dialogue of eras is destroyed, the problem of understanding is especially relevant, which is observed during globalization that we experience today. (4). Language reserve of probable language communication in solving the problems of understanding and misunderstanding in the existance of ethnic groups consist in the close interaction of their cultures. Communicative interaction of languages and cultures leads not only to intensive information exchange, which occurs at the stage of globalization and the information revolution, but also to an equal dialogue (polylogue) of cultures in the future to jointly solve global human problems on our planet.
