Russian-Chinese pidgin: cultural and social phenomenon

In the modern world, most of the languages are in contact with other ones, self-suppressing languages almost do not exist. The processes of globalization, intercultural communication, the emergence of many cultural worlds, the strengthening of interethnic and interlingual contacts maintain the role of language contacts in the modern world. The result of linguistic contacts is pidgin as a kind of reflection of the processes and phenomena occurring in the social space. It serves as an auxiliary means of communication in standard communication situations. Language contacts in the study are understood as a phenomenon that arises between different language speakers in the process of their contacts. One of the types of pidgin is the Russian-Chinese pidgin. The study attempts to analyze the Harbin Russian-Chinese pidgin within the framework of structural and functional analysis by T. Parsons.
