Summary:
This book begins with the idea that English in the multilingual university
is filled with and surrounded by tensions, from the renegotiation and
bending of language norms to the emotional strain of the increasing use of
English. It explores how these tensions are experienced by those who find
themselves in multilingual university settings outside the anglophone world
and use English in their research or education. The author examines the use
of English in multiple domains in Swedish universities, progressing from
macro perspectives on language policies to in-depth qualitative studies of
individuals. The book presents both a synthesis of recent scholarship on
the use of language in multilingual universities and the author's own
empirical findings, which are situated in a theoretical framework based on
the work of Mikhail Bakhtin. The book offers the reader a novel way of
tracing the links between language perceptions and practices on the ground,
and the forces and processes which govern these practices.
