Economic Science, education and the real economy: Development and interactions in the digital age, 2020, issue 1, 722-729 Abstract: The focus of the paper is on the issues of globalization through the prism of cross-cultural communication. The spread of bilingualism in the modern society is interpreted by economic, migration, cultural, educational and sports processes. The necessity to study languages and cultures in the modern society is pointed out; numerous classifications of bilingualism are mentioned. The following notions are considered in the paper: a monocultural identity, and a bicultural identity; the following groups are distinguished: monocultural monolinguals, monocultural bilinguals, bicultural monolinguals, bicultural bilinguals. The paper also dwells upon such a phenomenon as interference and by way of illustration of it a three year child-bilingual from an international Russian-Bulgarian family is described. Some advantages and disadvantages of several languages learning are considered.
