“…As suggested previously, dishes ordered abroad may not match familiar versions because of adaptations to recipes and modes of preparation (Lu and Fine, 1994). Doubts have also been expressed about the authenticity of some purportedly iconic dishes proffered to tourists at destinations where menus are simplified and modified, failing to deliver the genuine article (Ferguson, 1981). Globalisation forces are also in operation, evidenced by the rise of international fast food chains (Alfino et al, 1998), and can undermine native food cultures.…”

This article is devoted to the linguistic, communicative and sociocultural situation in branches of multinational companies located in the Czech Republic and Hungary. There are typically several languages used in these branches. In addition to the local languages, there are the languages of the parent companies -most commonly English or German, and also French. The core of the article is the description of the strategies on various levels of the company used to manage problems anticipated in future interactions. We demonstrate that these strategies originate as the result of communication problems the employees have already experienced and are created and reproduced in anticipation of similar problems in the future. We place emphasis on the close relationship between the way in which individuals systematically solve language and communication problems and how multinational companies do so, and we thus contribute to the further investigation of the interplay between micro-and macro-language planning. The article has its theoretical basis in language management theory as conceived by J.V. Neustupný and B.H. Jernudd, but its ambition is also to develop the theory further, above all through the concept of preinteraction management.

“…An exception are studies which have dealt with the problem of native Speakers in contact situations under the broad framework of 'foreigner talk' (Clyne 1981;Ferguson 1981). Some specific treatment has also been given to the communicative behavior of native Speakers in Japanese and Australian contact situations (Neustupny 1982(Neustupny , 1985bMarriott 1988b), but even so more rigorous analysis is required.…”
