Based on a general model of professional communication which is distinct from concepts of professional language a new model is developed which consistently integrates its multilingualism. This takes into account various individual languages such as German, English or Chinese as well as professionally relevant varieties such as everyday and educational language including various technical languages in individual professions or professional contexts as well as the corresponding competencies of the people working in these professions or contexts. Such a model not only provides an exhaustive and detailed coverage of plurilingual professional communication for itself, but also allows numerous applications in the fields of language planning, language policy and language didactics.
