Ways to Reflect Boundaries and Value Vectors Within the Concept of “Tolerance” in the Worldview of Modern Youth

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of “tolerance” in the worldview of modern Russian-speaking youth. The analysis of the responses allowed to determine the boundaries of the core and periphery of the concept under study, describe the methods of reflecting the value picture of the world, and analyse the language techniques and means of conveying individually and nationally marked semantic dominants within this concept. As a result of the study, a tendency towards reorganisation of the value system was revealed, the features of reference, the predetermining structure and content of basic national-cultural connections were described. The analysis of the survey results allowed to reconstruct a fragment of the value picture of the world, analyse the cognitive mechanisms involved in determining reference groups and boundaries within the concept of “tactfulness” through the applied language tactics and strategies.
