Linguistic Determination of the Personality

Abstract

Background/Objectives: The study is aimed at identifying the objective conditions for the personality's development and their influence on the linguistic determination based on defining the basic functional dependencies. Methods/Statistical analysis: To achieve the objectives of the study a complex of theoretical methods, determined by the specific theoretical and historical research has been used: A reflective analysis of the philosophical, psychological and pedagogical literature, retrospective analysis of activities of poly-ethnic schools in the multi-ethnic region. Findings: The research has shown that it is necessary to consider external, objective conditions of the individual's development, as many educational models hypertrophied the role of the internal factors of the personality's linguistic determination and demonstrated the role of external factors of linguistic education in the unreasonably reduced form. It is argued that a special role is assigned to the poly-ethnic school, which not only transmits own national culture, but also synthesizes it with other cultures. The study found and proved that the personality's formation is always a function of specific conditions. For the first time the influence and consideration of external, objective conditions of the individual's development on the linguistic education are identifies as the main results of the study, and the typology of linguistic education in national schools was determined on their basis (as exemplified by Yakutia). The following factors should be considered in the development of multilingual educational models: The historical causes of polylinguism occurrence, geographic, socio-political, linguistic and cultural factors. Applications/Improvements: The obtained results can be used to develop multilingual educational models. The analysis of different teaching methods can be applied for planning multilingual education in any other region.
