STUDY OF LANGUAGE COMPETENCE IN RUSSIAN-CHINESE INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the deep integration of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union, the deepening of the strategic partnership between Russia and China urgently requires overcoming the discourse barriers in cross-cultural communication. The paper constructs a three-dimensional capability analysis model of “context-genre-text” to systematically explain the core components of discourse capability in communication with Russia. Using literature analysis, case studies, and comparative research methods, and combining cases such as CGTN Russian Channel, transcripts of Sino-Russian business negotiations, and the Russian translation of “The dream of red mansion,” it analyzes the characteristics of language capability and the causes of pragmatic errors in cross-cultural communication, compares the differences between Chinese and Russian languages and cultures, and reveals the key constraints on improving discourse capability. The objective is to systematically deconstruct the language capability bottleneck in cross-cultural communication with Russia, reveal the cultural roots of pragmatic errors, and propose discourse reconstruction strategies adapted to the cognitive map of Russian culture. This has theoretical pioneering value for enhancing the cultural interpretive power of the two countries’ external communication systems and provides methodological support for improving narrative capability.
