The Correlation of the National Language and Identity in Modern Society
The idea that linguistic structure influences the cognition of language users was one of the most important problems for a great number of scholars, it was a subject of numerous researches and still it remains one of the most disputable problems ever existing. It has bearings on the fields of anthropological linguistics, psychology, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive science, linguistic anthropology, sociology of language and philosophy of language, and it has been the subject of extensive studies in all of these fields. The idea of linguistic influences on thought has also captivated the minds of authors and creative artists inspiring numerous ideas in literature, in the creation of artificial languages and even forms of therapy such as neuro-linguistic programming [2;12].
General tendencies of social development are predetermined by changes in all the spheres of human activity, system of values and national and private priorities, in which language is one of the most significant. One of the most important problems which appear in modern Ukrainian society is Eurointergration, which comprises not only politico-economic aspects of state-development, but only cultural points. When language becomes a permanent implement of political war, it is studied but linguists from the completely new point of view.
This problem is well-studied and analyzed, but only in the traditional context. An important effort to comprehend the correlation of language and social views was made by Charles Ferguson in his world-famous article “Diglossia” The World. The peculiarities of purely Ukrainian language field are studied by an American Pr. Lada Balaniuk. A lot of Ukrainian scholars and philosophers have been working upon this problem. One of the most prominent in his thoughts and influence was a genius of the national art Ivan Franko. He stated that a national language is the most important element in the process of formation the phenomenon of national identity. Language is the most excellent record of the history of the nation, which bears the prominent signs of every single event that happened either to people or to the country. The structure of the language comprises as well all transforming processes which befell the national art, character and identity.
The differences between languages do not include only differences in pronunciation, vocabulary or grammar, but also in different "cultures of speaking". Each culture has elaborate systems of "social deixis", systems of signalling social distance through linguistic means. Language is a mirror of culture, it reflects not only the real world around the individual, not only the realities of life, but it is noticeable in the identity of the people, their mentality, national character, lifestyles, traditions, customs, morals, values , attitude, vision of the world [4; 439].
Language as the main feature of a specific ethnic group may be analyzed according to two approaches: "inner" - it acts as the main factor of ethnic integration, and "outer", which is the major sign of the ethnic group having combined these two opposite functions, a language becomes a tool for self-preservation of the ethnic group [4; 338].
Language which is dominating in society demonstrates the level of national identity, cultural development, and political situation of a certain country. It depends on the level of spiritual rebirth. Historical memory is disclosed among people, sounds and words. Quality of "national" language reflects the quality of life, and the phenomenon of bilingualism in the language area shows obvious "crack" in the mechanism of the state of freedom, lack of harmony in cultural and spiritual life. When bilingualism is transforming in dyglossia (a phenomenon when one of the languages is more prestigeous than another), it demonstrates the destruction of stereotypes created by the previous government guidance system.
So it is worth adding that while forming the appropriate attitude to the national language, forming the appropriate culture of communication with each other and upbringing young generation according to the dogmas of respect to the national pride and dignity, love to the national language we form national pride and build a strong country [1].
Thus, in order to build a strong country, bring up the young generation in respect to the national and unique language, country, nation, traditions and art it is necessary to form the appropriate attitude not only to the dogmas and laws of the community on global level, but also to teach the youth to love their own riches and heritage of the ancestors.
