Linguistic personality ontology in the digital age

The author considers the relationship between the linguistic personality and the modern digitalbeing. The distinctive features of the linguistic personality ontology are the concept sphere and communication. It has been established that digital-being is a special additional space that offers the realization of new opportunities that are not available in the “real” world through the creation of new means of communication and technologies. The actor of the digital world is a person of the present, a person who communicates, Homo praesentem communicando, who transforms communication into a direct process of information consumption. In the digital environment (where it is technologically possible), the concept sphere is naturally transformed, that is, familiar concepts acquire a different semantic connotation. The linguistic personality experiences the ongoing transformations and faces dialectical difficulties, which the author divides into two parts. The first are the difficulties of perceiving, understanding and interpreting concepts in the native language of a native speaker in a constantly changing concept sphere. The second are the difficulties of intercultural interaction and the perception of “the other”. Thus, the categories of “self” and “other” are considered as additional categories of digital-being, dialectical in nature. The author does not also exclude the axiological component of digital ontology. To solve these difficulties, it is proposed to introduce the concept of “linguistic digital personality” into scientific field and develop an educational and methodological complex for the comprehensive development of the digital-being subject.
