Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the conceptual picture of German-speaking virtual intercultural reality and the processes of categorization that occur during the confrontation of local inhabitants and foreigners, as well as the definition of concepts objectified in German-language conflict discourse in virtual communication and their verbalization. A theoretical review of modern studies on the actualization of the conceptual system of individuals in linguistic reality in an intercultural context. The processes of categorization and conceptualization of discourse space on the basis of categorical, structural or metaphorical actualization of concepts of intercultural reality are analyzed. It is proposed to divide the concepts verbalized in the analyzed fragments of intercultural conflict discourse into three types: categorical concepts organize the knowledge of subjects about themselves and their environment by dividing and combining the concepts of intercultural discursive space in opposition pairs; structural concepts organize knowledge about the subject according to the structural features of the object through which they are denoted; metaphorical concepts concretize abstract and general ideas with the help of vivid concrete images based on an analogy between two phenomena. The personal contribution of the authors is the study of conceptualization and categorization of intercultural reality on modern linguistic material, the definition of basic concepts of German-speaking intercultural conflict space and means of their actualization. The research paper offers an authentic typology of concepts of intercultural conflict space. Prospects for the study are to further study intercultural conflict discourse, in particular, to observe the diachronic development of certain concepts of German-speaking intercultural reality, as well as to compare the conceptual picture of German-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking modern intercultural reality in order to diagnose and eliminate (mediate) violations in the intercultural communicative process.
