The goal involves modeling forecasts (possible development vectors) of the ethnolinguistic situation within the investigated area, in order to be able to avoid negative scenarios, but to move along the path of its harmonious development, to find tools and measures for its constructive management. It is considered that the problems preventing the preservation of this continuum’s linguistic diversity, as well as the development of idioms in a multilingual environment, are caused by both internal (problems of effective implementation of the language and educational policy of Ukraine) and external factors. In order to ensure the preservation and development of the area’s idioms, some negative, unfavorable scenarios in the development of the ethnolinguistic and political situation were modeled. In our opinion, a number of measures should be taken to prevent the ethno‑linguistic situation from developing along such destructive vectors. First of all, it is necessary to form, in some ways reanimate, a positive image of the Ukrainian Language, at least – it should not be perceived by minorities as an imposed language. If the Ukrainian authorities do not have an understanding of this necessity, the European Union could influence the resolution of many partial issues with the linguistic life of the region.}, type={Artykuł}, title={The Problems of Idiom Preservation and Development as Spread within the Multilingual Area between the Dniester and the Danube Rivers}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/125859/PDF-MASTER/2022-04-SOR-07.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2022.143221}, keywords={multilingual area, language situation, language policy, ethno‑linguistic conflict prevention, sociolinguistic prognosis}, }
