The article deals with the formation of communicative competence in bilinguals in the process of acquiring professional knowledge. Particular attention is paid to sociolinguistic competence, based on knowledge and understanding of the national-cultural features of communication. Opportunities for developing sociolinguistic competence in bilinguals are based on the study of the rules and norms of two or more languages and cultures. Their specific content is presented in the paper in the analysis of a figure of speech etiquette – greetings. Comparative study of communicative situations and speech behavior, and analysis of national culture manifestations in Russian and Chinese greetings allow the authors to present the content of sociocultural competence in relation to the figure of speech “greeting” in Russian.
