Abstract
The article deals with the situation of Ukrainian language in contemporary multicultural societies. Selected issues present traditional ways of developing, existence and maintenance of the language in its home country and abroad. Sociolinguistic studies of this problem are very important for the coherent view of language developing processes. The aim of the paper is to represent the place of Ukrainian in the context of multilingualism of the modem world and to compare such definitions as bilingualism, mother tongue, heritage language, target language, first language and second language in different languages (English, Polish and Ukrainian) with reference to Ukrainian. One of the main research issues is comparing of lingual situation of Ukrainian in diaspora in different countries and its meaning for representatives of different waves of emigration. Meaning the language for each next generation, consequences of the language interference, ways of maintenance are the main issues interesting not just for linguists, but for sociologists so far.
