Abstract

The article discusses research on multilingual workplaces in Luxembourg, including a review of the history and theory of sociolinguistic workplace research and a description of a study of audio recordings of supermarket employees. The relationship between interpersonal relations and language, ethnographic observations, and communication between a native French speaker and a Luxembourgish speaker are discussed. German language speakers, work environments, and language comprehension are discussed, as well as possible solutions for communication problems.
