Peculiarities of intercultural dialogue between different representatives of people in the world

Abstract

Codes of culture correlate with the ancient ideas of a person and form a coordinate system that contains and reproduces standards of culture, traditions, customs, behavior and the whole life of a certain national-ethnic society. They are unique markers of consciousness and subconsciousness, by which they recognize belonging to a certain culture, identify it. One listening to the song is enough to guess which people – Eastern or Western, Southern or Northern – it belongs to. Without special education, it is possible to determine the belonging of peoples to general types of cultures – European, Eastern, Asian, African, based on their national clothes. Within the European Union’s documents, «intercultural dialogue is most often mentioned in the Commission’s communication entitled Multilingualism: an Asset for Europe and a Shared Commitment» [2, р. 39]. Language, which is the main component of communication, can also be considered as a self-sufficient cultural system, which led to the emergence of a separate science – linguculturalology, which studies the interaction of culture and language, summarizes all possible ways of preserving and transmitting information about the culture of the people with the help of language. The cultural code covers the entire range of material manifestations of the life and culture of peoples: artifacts, architecture, nationally determined symbols, music, songs, dances, rituals, folk customs, national cuisine, as well as various forms of leisure, relationships in the family and with friends, even the semantics of colors, smells and sounds with which the life of the nation is saturated. It is implemented in a cultural context. Cultural traditions are unshakable, therefore, during intercultural interaction, it is necessary to tolerantly perceive the peculiarities of life, art, beliefs, and traditions of other peoples.
