This paper derives from an ethnographically oriented study of the emergence of English in innovative disciplinary speech events at a French-German bilingual university in Switzerland. From the outside viewed as dissent from the university's brand bilingualism, the use of English as a lingua franca enabled the multilingual ‘agents of change’ to achieve their own goals. In one context, English was the only common language. It enabled the community of practice to function in its international composition and to manage the disciplinary socialisation of doctoral students. In another context, English was a new common denominator that permitted members of a formerly linguistically segregated department to sustain disciplinary communication beyond the language boundary and to build a visible community of practice through and for the use of English.

The eye of the beholder: Is English as a Lingua Franca in academic settings a monolingual or multilingual practice?
