Engineering Physics Institute) Multilingual practices in The Voice Russia: the pragmatics of musical performance The vocal competition “Golos” (the Russian version of the global television show “The Voice”) provides a rich source of material for the investigation of multilingual practices in music due to its particularly international status: the participants represent different republics within the Russian Federation, the CIS states, and various countries of the far abroad. In addition to the main three languages of the songs on the show – Russian, English, and Italian – musical performances incorporate other local languages, which are native to some of the contestants: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Georgian, Azerbaijani, Hebrew, Romani, and so forth. The most interesting in terms of language use are multilingual performances, in which the performers mix lyrics (verses, choruses, fragments of verses and choruses, etc.) in different languages. The study of multilingual performances in “Golos” is guided primarily by research on the sociolinguistics of globalization, which regards language as a “mobile resource” and posits that language varieties (resources) are appropriated by communicants for a certain purpose and gain meaning in situated contexts (Blommaert, 2010). The data were drawn from the videos of 21 multilingual songs that make 2% of the total number of songs performed in the five seasons of “Golos” (2012 – 2016). Multilingual performances in “Golos” are composed via two main patterns: (1) language transposition (cf “linguistic transposition” in Chik (2010, p. 516)) and (2) music and language combination. Performances of the first type do not usually imply any changes in music and consist in the integration of a translated version of the same song into a different language. Performances of the second type combine fragments from different songs and alternate both language and music. In combination with a well-thought-out
