Abstract
This paper investigates communication in its bilingual expression as a factor enhancing subjective convergence of real and virtual spaces by the sign system. The aim of the investigation is to analyze language and speech which both, under global bilingual conditions, are influenced by cross-linguistic interference and facilitate in their interaction the mechanism of coding those new concepts of reality that arise and consolidate due to the mergence of real and virtual spaces. The basic research methods used are contrastive analysis and conceptual analysis. From the practical standpoint the obtained results can be used as complementary in, say, sociological and/or psychological studies of the impact produced by the real space upon social and individual con-science. The authors come to a conclusion that global bilingualism has created a special pattern in the interaction between language and speech where the coded information concerning real and virtual spaces is conceptually metaphorized. This type of metaphorization is nothing but simulacrization leading to faulty judgments and attitudes towards reality.

Summary
Global bilingualism of the 21st century opens up new opportunities in contact linguistics [1, 2, 3]. At the same time cross-linguistic interference is in our case rather an indicative phenomenon. Those cognitive processes occurring within the language partly reflect the other processes occurring within the extralinguistic reality. It should be borne in mind that the above parallel between the two types of interference is to indicate here elements of a joint cognitive matrix of an alike functioning mechanism. These elements move even closer together in case this is in reference to such base concepts as space and time
