Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze some features of the cultural and linguistic personality of modern Chinese students, manifested in the use of youth slang expressions. The scientific novelty of the proposed approach lies in the fact that the study of youth slang becomes part of the work on compiling a summary portrait of the cultural and linguistic personality of modern Chinese students in Russian and Chinese universities. Slang not only reflects the specific features of the cultural and linguistic personality, but also largely determines its uniqueness and complexity. The materials and results of the research were analyzed from the point of view of the national mentality of modern Chinese students, which is manifested in the choice of certain speech expressions, psychophysiological characteristics, as well as in the behavior. The research methods: the analysis of materials (a sample of vocabulary from electronic Chinese-Russian dictionary, as well as theoretical articles) and observation. The author concludes that the features of the cultural and linguistic personality of Chinese students are manifested through value dominants reflected in slang. The main criterion for selecting slangisms was the expression of the following most important value attitudes of Chinese students - the degree of independence from the group, the degree of manifestation of personality in class, sincerity in relations with teachers, attitude to food, attitude to work, attitude to the desired profession after graduation, attitude to life. The specified dominants associated with the axiological dimension of the image of the world in many aspects determine the speech behavior of students. Thus the slang becomes one of the most expressive forms of the culture and expresses the consciousness of modern youth.

Abstract: The subject of the research is that the article attempts to create a summary portrait of the cultural and linguistic personality of a Chinese student in modern Russian universities. The connection of the Chinese cultural and linguistic personality with the archetypal elements of the national image of the world determines its constant components with all changes in individual properties and qualities. At the same time, existing explicit or implicit stereotypes may be only part of a generalized portrait. The Chinese cultural and linguistic personality is based on a property that is often formulated by Sinologists as vitalism. The vitality of the modern Chinese audience is explored in connection with such phenomena as "gelotocentrism" and "phagocentrism", dating back to the traditional Chinese worldview. "Gelotocentrism" allows us to understand why laughter becomes one of the dominants of the psychological atmosphere in the classroom, as well as to identify the effectiveness of "laughter didactics" at various stages of learning. Various methods were used in the course of the research, including observation, literature analysis, historical and literary research, comparative and discourse analysis. "Phagocentrism" is not just "filling the stomach", but a peculiar form of possession of higher knowledge, a mental "orientation in the space of Being". In addition, for Chinese living in Russia, food is one of the most effective ways to solve adaptation problems and relieve psychological stress. The relevance of the research is determined by the novelty of the approach, since the novelty shows that phage therapy and gelotherapy are considered as the most important modes of human existence, and their significant role in the philosophy of education is emphasized. Tracing the connection between the history of Chinese culture and its current state in the aspect of international education, the study demonstrates that associative-sympathetic thinking is directly related to the vitalistic perception of the world. Vitalism, in turn, presupposes "holism" as an integral form of mastering reality.

Abstract: The subject of this article refers to the phenomenon of culture shock based on data obtained from a survey of Chinese students studying at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Area Studies of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The signs of culture shock as a social phenomenon and mental state are listed. The reasons leading to culture shock and its consequences are considered. In addition, the history of studying this issue by Russian and foreign scientists is widely presented. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the use of qualitative and quantitative methods for collecting and analyzing the information obtained, as well as the development of approaches to prevent such a situation.
The study shows that signs of culture shock are inherent in all Chinese students in Russia to varying degrees. However, through analysis of detailed data, it is discovered that individual differences in intercultural adaptation are more significant. Culture shock is not directly related to gender, but has a certain connection with specialties and courses. Meanwhile, this phenomenon has a greater degree of connection with character and the ability to intercultural communication (the ability to solve problems when faced with them). In addition, measures are proposed aimed at preventing this condition, as well as overcoming the communication barrier, improving intercultural communication and developing international education.
