As much as globalization is concerned, this article gives emphasis on the function of intercultural communication. Interfederal factors influencing the expansion of cultural variability of representatives of different nations in the context of an increase in the intensification of cooperative conflicts in the development of the global economy, the use of technologies, strengthening international relations are considered. Thus, the article describes the language differences in intercultural communication and the necessity to establish intercultural sensibility to eliminate them. It also examines the part played by language in the phenomenon of globalization and the effects on cross-cultural interactions.
