This issue of Santalka (Coactivity), which is devoted to the contemplation of language, is composed of the material from the conference Language and Philosophy in the Conditions of Social Change organized by VGTU on 24–25 Mar 2006. Here just like traditionally (Santalka (Coactivity), Vol 14, No 1, 3) different philosophical investigations are linked up under one theme. As sočiety and an individual form each other, and existential understanding affects social changes, this issue consists of two parts supplementing each other: 1. semantics of language and hermeneutics; 2. language and society.
