THE ROLE OF ETHNIC STEREOTYPES IN INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Abstract
This article examines the ethnic stereotypes that largely determine the character of intercultural contacts. Thanks to the analysis of precedent texts, jokes, you can find a reflection of national-cultural specificity of a linguistic and cultural environment, to compare different national types from the point of view of nature, disposition, worldview. Ethnic stereotypes contribute to the emergence of ethnic sympathies and antipathies, as well as distribution of rough, inaccurate characteristics that affect the intercultural communications.
