Summary/Abstract: This paper examines a set of basic terms of the area under consideration, which are often used rather unsystematically, and offers their provisional definition. Interculturalism is regarded as an advanced version of multiculturalism, appropriate to modern societies. With regard to language, seen as a crucial component of intercultural education, the importance of multilingualism is stressed and the notion of interlingualism is introduced. All this is placed in the context of current European language, educational and cultural policy as laid down in the European Charter for Regional or Minority languages, the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, and the White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue.
