“…The language of a nation acts as a repository for its collective history and identity, through which the stories of the past are transmitted to future generations, ensuring the preservation of cultural heritage. Many scholars argue that language defines ethnic belonging and serves as the most common ethnic boundary (Heller, 2020;Rademakers & van Hoorn, 2021).…”

Purpose. The aim of this research is a comparative analysis of the concept of ethno-communication stereotypes, aimed at identifying the specificity of stereotypes within one ethnic group. Methods. The research employed the method of free descriptions to determine intra-group auto- and hetero-stereotypes, content analysis, as well as the “barriers” diagnostic method by V.V. Boyko to identify obstacles in establishing emotional contacts. The survey involved 208 Kazakh students, with 104 participants each from Kazakh-speaking Kazakh students and Russian-speaking students of Kazakh ethnicity. Results. The survey results showed a significant difference between the two groups in terms of unwillingness to emotionally connect with people: the Russian-speaking group demonstrated a significantly higher level of unwillingness to establish emotional connections (T_empirical = 4.908). These results confirm the presence of ethno-stereotypes within the investigated ethnicity, both in the Kazakh-speaking and Russian-speaking subgroups. Auto- and hetero-stereotypes of one ethnic group were also studied with a division based on language. There is a duality in stereotypes based on the idea of "personal qualities of a typical Kazakh who speaks only Kazakh, such as “composed” and “relaxed”, “responsible” and “irresponsible”, “restrained” and “impulsive”. Both groups endowed the Kazakh-speaking group with characteristics indicating warmth in relationships and ethical qualities aimed at strengthening interpersonal relations. The qualities of the Russian-speaking group were directed towards the development of personal qualities. This perspective is shared not only by members of their groups but also by members of the other group, to whom they attributed qualities. Conclusions. These results have practical implications for research in the field of ethnolinguistics and linguaculturology, as the complex interaction of stereotypes, culture, language, and emotions within one ethnic group has been demonstrated.

“…Politicians need to know how to use a language. According to previous study studying the language of politics is important because it enables language users to comprehend how those who wish to gain power, exercise power, and maintain power use language (Heller, 2020). The capacity to communicate with others, to influence people's attitudes or actions, to provide people with information they do not know, to explain one's attitudes or actions, or persuade people to take certain actions can all be accomplished through language, making it an important tool for politicians to use in their efforts to attract the attention of the public (Shanks et al, 2017;Vicheanpant & Ruenglertpanyakul, 2012).…”

The dominant modality value is median, there are eighteen provisions or around 62,1%, then, at that point, trailed by eight clauses or around 27,6% as low worth and the latter is three conditions or 10,3% for high worth. The dominant type of modality is obligation.

“…The phenomenon of code-switching is commonly found in communication between bilinguals in a society where they can switch from one language to another depending on the situation in a conversation (Bhatti et al, 2018;Fachriyah, 2017). The phenomenon of switching language not only occurs in non-formal communication but also occurs in formal communication, especially in the world of education (Harya, 2018;Heller, 2020;Moetia, 2018). In the teaching and learning process, code-switching is often found at all levels of school to university level in Indonesia in English subjects, where teachers often switch from Indonesian to English or vice versa in delivering subject matter (Bahous et al, 2014;Green & Wei, 2014;Hofweber et al, 2016).…”
