  • Competing Language Ideologies About Societal Multilingualism Among Cross- Border Workers in Luxembourg
    DOI 10.1515/ijsl-2013-0091 IJSL 2014; 227: 119 – 137 Julia de Bres Competing language ideologies about societal multilingualism among cross- border workers in Luxembourg Abstract: Cross-border workers, who live in the surrounding border regions of France, Belgium and Germany, now make up 44 percent of the workforce in Lux- embourg. This increasing presence of “foreigners” is prompting substantial change to Luxembourg’s traditionally triglossic language situation, where Lux- embourgish, French and German have coexisted in public use. In this situation, competing language ideologies emerge reflecting the interests of different groups. Through analysis of metalinguistic discourse in interviews with thirty cross- border workers in Luxembourg, this article examines how the language ideolo- gies of cross-border workers might contribute to competing perspectives on soci- etal multilingualism in Luxembourg. Keywords: language ideologies, cross-border workers, multilingualism, minority languages, Luxembourg Julia de Bres: The University of Luxembourg. E-mail: [email protected] 1 Introduction Luxembourg is a small country of 2,586 square kilometres and a population of 511,800 (STATEC 2011). Bordered by France, Belgium and Germany, it is also lo- cated on the border of the Romance and Germanic language families and histori- cally these larger neighbors have had an important influence on its unique lan- guage situation. With a national language (Luxembourgish) and three languages of administration (French, German and Luxembourgish), all of which are used on a daily basis, Luxembourg is one of the most multilingual countries in the world.1 This is ever more so with the increasing proportion of “foreigners”2 who now 1 Luxembourg’s language situation is not described in detail here.

  • Multilingualism As a Resource for Learning – Insights from a Multidisciplinary Research Project
    MOUTON EuJAL 2020; 8(2): 143–156 Editorial Adelheid Hu* and Ingrid de Saint-Georges Multilingualism as a resource for learning – insights from a multidisciplinary research project https://doi.org/10.1515/eujal-2020-0012 1 Globalisation, mobility and linguistic diversity Globalisation is a process full of complexities and inherent tensions. On the one hand, we are seeing increasing numbers of people from a variety of communities using a more diverse range of repertoires and entering into increasingly multi- lateral relationships. In this respect, globalisation is giving rise to more flexible and mixed views of identities, more hybrid language practices and new cultural scripts. But at the same time, perhaps as a response to these changes, we are witnessing the re-emergence of stronger nationalist and communitarian currents in many parts of the world. Under this new globalised regime, neighbourhoods, workplaces, schools and universities are changing in Europe and beyond. For example, the number of chil- dren, young people and adults learning to use and navigate new languages at different points in their lives has surged. In education, mobile learners have also contributed to the diversification of classrooms, raising new questions as to how best to support them in their educational trajectories, in particular when their linguistic repertoires do not correspond with the languages of schooling. Simulta- neously, issues related to fairness and equity have become more pressing in many spheres of social life. *Corresponding author: Prof. Adelheid Hu, University of Luxembourg, Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences, E-Mail: [email protected] Prof. Ingrid de Saint-Georges, University of Luxembourg, Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences, E-Mail: [email protected] 144 Adelheid Hu and Ingrid de Saint-Georges MOUTON 2 Luxembourg as a case study The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg represents an especially rich case study when investigating the linguistic ramifications of globalisation.

Die Umsetzung der Maßnahme erfolgte und erfolgt bis heute in Teilabschnitten durch den Bau von Umgehungsstraßen, um die entlang der Nationalstraße 7 gelegenen Ortschaften vom Durchgangsverkehr zu entlasten. Der Bau erfolgt von der Stadt Luxembourg vierspurig als Autobahn bis nach Colmar- Berg, von dort dreispurig bis Diekirch.
