The article is dedicated to analyzing the use of connotative vocabulary in the speech of bilinguals, with a focus on its role in intercultural communication and language interaction. The study examines how bilinguals use the connotative meanings of words to convey additional meanings, allowing them to adapt language to context and communicative situations. The research reveals that connotative vocabulary becomes an important tool in bilingual communication, helping not only to express emotional and subjective evaluations but also to demonstrate the ability to navigate between linguistic and cultural norms. Special attention is given to the phenomenon of occasional vocabulary, which bilinguals use in specific situations to create unique meanings. This approach contributes to a better understanding of cultural differences and creates space for innovative linguistic transformations. The article also explores the influence of cultural and sociolinguistic factors on the formation and use of connotative vocabulary, helping to reveal the depth and diversity of intercultural meanings embedded in bilingual speech.

In conclusion, it is emphasized that the ability to effectively use connotative vocabulary is an important indicator of linguistic maturity and cultural adaptation in bilinguals, as well as their skills in intercultural communication.
