Summary/Abstract: The monograph presents a system-dynamic model of intercultural communication and pedagogy. Authors hailing from eight countries (Armenia, Finland, Georgia, Iraq, Japan, Poland, Russia and Ukraine) examine the principles of interaction of linguistic cultures, components of intercultural dialogue, models and mechanisms of overcoming difficulties in communication between representatives of different cultures. The volume offers answers to a number of crucial questions. Why is it so important to highlight the current trends in intercultural communication? Which factors help and which hinder the development of communication? Which pedagogical methods and techniques are more effective? What is the influence of language on personality formation? How are the individual and the collective mentality, ideology, and culture reflected in language and at the same time formed by it? Among the authors are both those with extensive research experience and young ones. The monograph may be of interest not only to linguists but also to diplomats, sociologists, business people, ethnographers, psychologists, cultural studies scholars, and, more generally, all those who confront these issues in their professional or everyday lives.
