Paper long abstract:

Anthropology as the one of the basic human science of man in all his dimensions: social, cultural and

physical, by including ethnology as an essential element holds a large mirror in front of a person and gives

him the opportunity to look at himself in all his limitless diversity. To cover all parts of anthropology at

once deep in one research can be unrealistic and this study will be concentrated more on cultural part of

anthropology. Furthermore, anthropology as an important part of modern education, expanding its

horizons significantly with the growing number of contacts between peoples with cultures of different

origins. Through teaching and writing about cultural diversities, it is possible to contribute to the

development of tolerance and mutual respect among people, ultimately promoting the growth of

reciprocal understanding between them. As the main source of the information mentioned, as an instance

the research of inter-ethnic marriages can serve as a laboratory for the study of multiethnic coexistence

which current study will be focused on. Consequently, it allows to illustrate basic connected aspects of

the society as taking into account relationship of different ethnic groups in everyday life and cultural

aspects of integration process through the prism of two important standpoints: their social structure form

and inter-ethnic marriage (finding hard and soft aspects). In this case, through the theory of assimilation

and acculturation processes anthropology as the subject occupies a considerable place in education

whole. To be more comprehensible, let us take language use in inter-ethnic marriages, as language is one

of the significant aspects of the intrinsic cultural traits (acculturation) which inextricably linked with

culture. Two languages can be found in research spot community with inter-ethnic marriages, despite of

that from their social surroundings in a form of kindergarten, school, and higher educational system.

Based on theories of assimilation and acculturation it is possible to define (1) rule of the language use, or

in other words whose language is used mainly in the case of an interethnic marriage. (2) features of

sociocultural environment and how it makes impact on the language use in interethnic marriages. (3)

sociolinguistic aspect of the study concerning the interpretation if interethnic language use in mixed

marriages. As study settlement were chosen Turkestan region, Kazakhstan, one of mostly multinational

domain of the country with century-old history. Main point is taking into account the importance of

anthropology as a science in society, defining and analyzing the features of acculturation processes which

are based on everyday life aspects of inter-ethnic marriages to acquire exact social phenomenon. Which

can present not just statistical even from a psychological and political point of view that can serve as one

of the primary factors of an efficient maintenance of peaceful living in the aimed territory.
