摘要
This article explores key aspects of migration,modern views on language,and language personality and their interrelations that affect socio-economic,cultural,educational,and security segments of a global labor market.Migration and linguistic dimensions include sociolinguistic issues as well as technological,economic,socio-cultural,and language transformations of the 21st century,which determine policies toward national and foreign languages and globalization of modern education.Our research efforts aim to identify migration-language-personality characteristics relevant for current economic development of the global workforce.Interrelated social-linguistic activities and multinational and multicultural interactions,grounded on digital business and electronic communication and provided by the international workforce,serve for the global businesses and for the national interests as well.In this article,we examine the following considerations:(1)migration issues and factors that determine linguistic implications of migration in the global labor market;(2)language and alternative modern visions on language and its functions;(3)language personality theory and its various interpretations related to social settings in the global context;and(4)challenges for a global workforce/migrants associated with language issues.
