Abstract

In the Basque Autonomous Community, the presence of the local minority language Basque has gradually increased in the workplace due to recent Language policies, although the local majority language Spanish is still clearly prevalent. At the same time, in consequence of internationalization, English has also gained in importance as a Lingua Franca for international work-related activities. This paper analyses the perceptions of professionals and future professionals on this "glocal" linguistic repertoire in the workplace of the Basque Autonomous Community.
