| Summary: | The concepts of language crisis and communication crisis are analysed across publications in the areas of philosophy, mass communication, and linguistics within the timeframe of recent 5 years. Actual approaches to the interpretation of these notions, suggested by researchers in the Russian Federation and worldwide, are reviewed, and the ongoing processes that occur in languages and in communication in general are studied in their relation with the context of changing world order. Following the methodology of synergetics, the world order is represented as a non-linear dynamic system that is currently in search of its new equilibrium point and is approaching the state typically referred to as multipolarity.
