Vorwort
(2014)
Other than linguistic laymen, most linguists avoid Statements concerning the general state of a language or its future. Despite some theoretical scruples, I shall, after some assessing comments on present German, make speculations on the further development of this language. Three scenarios of possible States of the German language at the end of this Century will be sketched and discussed in comparison. These speculations are but plausible considerations based on observations of the Contemporary language. In view of the looming partial loss of domains of German and other European Standard languages, I will then discuss how the further development of German can be positively influenccd within the context of multilingual Europe.

Following a welcome in Lithuanian and English to the guests and members on the occa- sion of the 10"’ anniversary of EFNIL, the history of this European language Organization is sketched. A brief survey of the sociolinguistic themes treated at previous Conferences and the state of the inajor projects is given, followed by an introduction (in German) to the general topic of the present Conference. The importance that translation and interpretation have for European language diversity and the individual national languages beside foreign language education of all Europeans is being stressed.
