Названия городов США в аспекте межкультурной коммуникации

Abstract

The names of cities on in USA map reflect connection of migrants with their motherlands, thus proving to be an indicator of tolerance among people of different ethnic backgrounds. Desire to minimize the new settlers’ nostalgia for their birthplaces led to the creation of the atmosphere of pluralism to their surroundings. Besides, inter-cultural activity in times of the US state building contributed both to the formation of a new American nation based upon the ideas of pluralism and tolerance as well as appeared to be significant for shaping its readiness for globalization. That is why the USA can be treated as the founder of the present-day globalization philosophy, which influences substantially modern literature, fine arts and other spheres of life.
