Identity in the context of language variety

Seda Yusupova

In the modern world the identity is one of the actual and key concepts in studying the various fields of knowledge. Identity is defined as a feeling of belonging to a certain group and community, language, social, national, political.
Object of research: influence of language variety on identity formation
Methods: cognitive, semantic, comparative, sociolinguistic analysis
Results: In conditions of language variety and processes of globalization the knowledge of several languages has an impact on formation of identity. In a bilingual society the identity is marked by other culture and language that leads sometimes to transculturation which is reflected in various ways. In some cases – in formation of boundary philosophical, cultural, social, musical, literary outlook, in others – in the marginal behavior dispersing from culture, to ignorance of traditions, customs of the nation and non-compliance of them.
In language influence on this process it is possible to allocate the following parallels: the native language (minority language) – an official language of the country, the native language, official language and foreign languages. At such scenario the level of proficiency in language closely intertwines with full formation of ethnic, all-civil identity. The perfect knowledge of two and more languages broadens horizons of the language personality and promotes formation of both ethnic, and national identity, doesn’t destroy the mentality.
Conclusion. The formation of identity within the balanced language policy forms an undistorted ethnic mentality, prevents the marginal qualities and boundary state.

Keywords: identity, idioms, semantics.
