Abstract

The article examines linguistic personality in the digital environment through the prism of everyday vocabulary and its pedagogical potential in teaching native and foreign languages. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that everyday Internet communication has become an important part of learners’ language socialization, while everyday vocabulary has become one of the most sensitive indicators of digital identity, communicative norms, and intercultural differences. The study is based on material from typologically different languages—Russian, English, and Chinese—which makes it possible to identify both universal and typologically conditioned features of digital everyday speech. The theoretical framework includes studies of linguistic personality, digital discourse, networked multilingualism, and critical digital pedagogy. Methodologically, the article combines comparative analysis, discourse analysis, and linguo-pedagogical interpretation. The findings demonstrate that everyday vocabulary in Internet space performs not only nominative but also identificational, evaluative, contact-establishing, and educational functions. It is argued that the inclusion of digital everyday vocabulary in language education contributes to the development of communicative, intercultural, and digital competences. The article is intended for researchers in pedagogy, language teachers, and specialists in digital education, and it highlights the educational value of authentic digital communication practices.

Keywords: linguistic personality, digital environment, everyday vocabulary, internet discourse, pedagogy, language education, intercultural communication
