Abstract

The intensive development of an integrated approach to the multispectral phenomenon of English-speaking people's bilingualism in various discourse contexts is the focus of this paper. In order to better understand the phenomenon of bilingual linguistic personality, as well as the impact of communication context on language tool selection, this study looked into the verbal traits of bilingual English speakers' linguistic personalities in a university setting. The study's fundamental component was the human-centered approach. This method allows for the best possible realization of a bilingual's objectives by examining the most pertinent and suitable verbal tools of bilingual academic discourse in English within the framework of competitive bilingualism. In the communicative context of academic discourse in English, a bilingual instructor's verbal personality is mapped out. The selection of commonly used lexical and grammatical academic language units is determined by the conventions of academic English discourse. Further research in the fields of communicative linguistics, discourse theory, cultural linguistics, psychology, sociolinguistics, and the study of institutional communication may find the article's contents useful.
