ON ISSUE OF MESOPOLICY OF CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN RUSSIAN CONTEXT

The management of cultural and linguistic diversity is considered in the article as a multi-level system formed in the form of interaction of conceptual foundations and practical activities of national, regional and local scale. The proposed concept of mesopolitics implies not only spatial (territorial or political and administrative units of analysis) measurement, but also diversification of actors who begin to play an increasingly significant role in language relations and language functioning. Particular attention is paid to the conceptual goal-setting and normative consolidation of provisions on bi- and multilingualism in legal policy acts, as well as the possibilities of reproducing linguistic diversity arising in the modern space of information and communication technologies in the prospects of online language policy. The application of analysis methods on meso-projections of diversity management, according to the authors, will receive a new update in connection with the upcoming update of the regulatory environment of political and linguistic relations in anticipation of the adoption of new legislative acts and decisions in the field of legal policy.
