The author proposes to consider Europe rather from the viewpoint of its cultural and political othernesses than from the viewpoint of its cultural and political identity; i.e. to analyze a network of relations upheld by the European nations between themselves, constituted on the basis of their opposition and identification with other nations and upheld by Europe as a whole with those which are not Europe. The paper outlines the trends of studying the European othernesses in two determining, in the author's opinion, fields: the linguistic one - a field of national languages and their inter-relations and the historical one - a field of the national histories and their interrelations, which are implemented by the author in his book of the same title.

The goal of this paper is to show Rizner´s writings, to this day unused, concerning extralinguistical information and broader contextual characteristics of explained phenomena. These unpublished lexicographical texts offer wide possibilities for broad ethno-liguistical research.

As a first step, the author takes into consideration the ontological status of the phenomena called human languages. In terms of their status, the author divides these phenomena into two categories. One of them includes the phenomena denoted by such terms as the Polish language, the German language, the English language etc. These phenomena are not real languages. In fact, they are (more or less adequate) models of real languages. Such models are autonomous entities, existing outside concrete human brains (minds). In contrast, real languages do not exist outside concrete human brains (minds). They are parts of the mental spheres of concrete human brains (minds) that enable them to produce concrete expressions, to make them meaningful, to identify expressions and their meanings etc. The second part of the article is devoted to a discussion about the function of real languages and their functional correlation with relevant real cultures. The third part presents a view about the goals of linguistics. Like any other empirical science, linguistics is supposed to present not only descriptive and historical knowledge, but also applicative knowledge. The ultimate goal of linguistics is to help people to understand one another worldwide. In other words, linguistics should try not only to reconstruct the structures of real human languages, to describe their functions etc., but also to find out how people can improve their communication, achieve their communicative goals more effectively, develop their multilingual and multicultural communicative competence in a shorter time, etc.
