Формирование глобального англо-местного билингвизма и усиление транслингвальной практики
The fact that modern linguistics has embraced the notions of translingualism and transculturalism, which have been developed mostly in literature studies, indicates a new turn in contact linguistics of the globalization era and the era of global English-local bilingualism. This article deals with the linguistic investigation of translingualism, its broad and narrow interpretation, the notions of translanguaging and translingual creativity, and the phenomena of code meshing and code ambiguation as the manifestations of translingualism. These phenomena are illustrated with the examples of English-Russian code meshing and code-ambiguation. The intensification of translingual contacts in Russia and the development of mass, though largely “truncated” English-Russian bilingualism are presented in the article as interdependent issues. Overall, the analysis of translingual contacts is seen as instrumental in refining the concept of global English-local bilingualism.
