Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze some features of the cultural and linguistic personality of modern Chinese students, manifested in the use of youth slang expressions. The scientific novelty of the proposed approach lies in the fact that the study of youth slang becomes part of the work on compiling a summary portrait of the cultural and linguistic personality of modern Chinese students in Russian and Chinese universities. Slang not only reflects the specific features of the cultural and linguistic personality, but also largely determines its uniqueness and complexity. The materials and results of the research were analyzed from the point of view of the national mentality of modern Chinese students, which is manifested in the choice of certain speech expressions, psychophysiological characteristics, as well as in the behavior. The research methods: the analysis of materials (a sample of vocabulary from electronic Chinese-Russian dictionary, as well as theoretical articles) and observation. The author concludes that the features of the cultural and linguistic personality of Chinese students are manifested through value dominants reflected in slang. The main criterion for selecting slangisms was the expression of the following most important value attitudes of Chinese students - the degree of independence from the group, the degree of manifestation of personality in class, sincerity in relations with teachers, attitude to food, attitude to work, attitude to the desired profession after graduation, attitude to life. The specified dominants associated with the axiological dimension of the image of the world in many aspects determine the speech behavior of students. Thus the slang becomes one of the most expressive forms of the culture and expresses the consciousness of modern youth.
