WIDER DEN ENGLISCH-WAHN. ERHALT DER MEHRSPRACHIGKEIT IN DER EUROPÄISCHEN WISSENSCHAFTSKULTUR AGAINST ENGLISCH DOMINATION. PRESERVING MULTILINGUALISM IN EUROPEAN SCIENTIFIC CULTURE

The problem of everyday scientific language is gaining in importance both in today's linguistic and language didactic research. It will also be central to today's science conception. From the perspective of the current Anglophone scientific community, the article discusses the effects of some standards in scientific practice – including the quantification culture – on publication practices and the associated displacement of the traditionally multilingual European scientific culture. In this context, some measures are discussed that can reduce the influence of English, e.g. in the humanities. In general, this also touches on the question of what effects the language changeover in science will have on smaller research communities and languages.
