Peer reviewedLauren, Christer; Stromman, Solveig – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 1981
Describes the alternating and mixed use of Swedish and Finnish in a company in the bilingual city of Vasa, Finland. Tradition, language knowledge of the employees, and occasional factors determine use in internal routines. Use is largely free from conflict, given that most employees know the other national language. (Author/PJM)
