Opis

The book is devoted to the study of intercultural communication processes carried out in space and time by representatives of different linguo-sociocultural spatial habitats. The research is based on the assumption that the formation of intercultural competence of any communicant is determined by spatio-temporal relations, and three-dimensionality (as a perceived property of space) is the dominant underlying both language and linguistic and secondary linguistic personality models. The paper argues that the competences of three-dimensional linguistic personality, as well as three-dimensional secondary linguistic personality, should be formed in a three-dimensional environment based on the latest technology, and, accordingly, three-dimensional visualization technology is considered to be the key for the task under study. The book is intended for students, postgraduate students, doctoral candidates and teachers specializing in the theory and methodology of foreign language teaching, as well as for all those interested in the problems of language theory, linguoculturology and the latest technologies in education.
