Abstract
The article is devoted to the perception and verbalization of somatic (bodily) codes of culture in the conditions of bilingualism and biculturalism. The ability of Komi-Permian bilinguals to identify somatic codes of their culture was revealed. The experiment was conducted in the form of an individual questionnaire in the Komi-Permyak district of the Perm region of the Russian Federation. The experimental material was created using the method of generalized portrait. Two images of real girls (Komi-Permyak and Russian) were superimposed on each other with the help of Face Morph program. “Artificial” person is obtained as a result, which combines somatics representatives of two non-related ethnic groups (Indo-European and Finno-Ugric). Three images (Russian, Komi-Permyak and “artificial” faces) were presented to respondents. It is established that the Komi-Permians recognize faces somatic code well. In the conditions of bilingualism and biculturalism somatic codes of culture in the consciousness of Komi-Perm change more slowly than in Russian. 62% of Komi-Permyaks choose the face of their ethnic group. The Komi-Permians “artificial” person likes least of all (9% of respondents). 29% of the Komi-Perm choose Russian face. Interpretation of the code is a subjective process and often depends on personal perception in the control groups of Russians. Russians choose an “artificial” person is 4 times more often than the Komi-Permians. Choose more often (52%), Komi-Permyatskiy face the Russians, who constantly live in the Permian Komi district. Russians who are not affected by Komi-Permyak culture choose Komi-Permyak face in 42% of cases. Russians Komi-Perm district choose the Russian face 6 times less likely (8,7%) than face of Komi-Permyaks (52%). Komi-Permians choose a Russian face 3 times more often (29%) than the Russians themselves. The analysis of verbal responses showed that the physicality in the minds of the Komi-Perm with mental and moral characteristics, not physical. These characteristics are actual bodily identifiers for the Komi-Permians.

Summary
Person is obtained as a result, which combines somatics representatives of two non-related ethnic groups (Indo-European and Finno-Ugric). Введение Актуальность исследования кодов культуры обусловлена, с одной стороны, проблемой утраты или размывания этнический идентичности в условиях глобализации, с другой, – формированием глобальных кодов культуры (Чернышева, 2016), которые влекут за собой утрату национальной идентичности, формирование биэтничности и общероссийской идентичности (Скоробогатая, 2008: 10), проблемы бикультурализма и мультикультурализма (Арутюнов, 1978; Benet-Martínez, 2005; Русских, 2013; Вигель, 2017). Особо важными вопросы этнической идентичности становятся в условиях билингвизма и бикультурализма в исторически полиэтнических регионах (Barth, 1969; Root, 1992; Sollars, 1996; Trimble, 2000; Phinney, 2003; Weinreich, 2003; Губогло, 2003; Выскочил, 2005; Попова, 2006; Kyuchukov, 2016; Giuseppina, 2017), к которым относится Пермский край.
