ON THE PROBLEM OF INTEGRATION OF INTERCULTURAL SPACE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE RUSSIAN AND FRENCH LANGUAGES)

The present study is devoted to one of the topical issues of linguoculturology - integration processes taking place in the intercultural space. The realization of these complex processes is possible owing to the word and its semantic content, which is constantly enriched with new or well-known, but rethought in the practice of speech activity meanings. The article presents the results of the study of the semantics of the word mind and its adjectival variant smart in the comparative aspect of the Russian and French languages (l’intelligence, intelligent). The semantics of these words is actualized in modern speech due to new technological aspects of human life, such as artificial intelligence, information and digital technologies. They are of interest as concepts that formed the intercultural space of Russia and France as a result of the mutual influence of French surrealism and Russian avant-garde.
