“…Third, there is the emphasis on language in relation to power structures in place. Examples are featured in research on scaling (Badwan and Simpson, 2019;Blommaert, 2010;Canagarajah and De Costa, 2016), roots and routes (Heller et al, 2016), linguistic disobedience (Komska et al, 2019) and decolonising multilingualism (Phipps, 2019).

Abstract:This article investigates linguistic diversity, migration, and labour in the case of a nineteenthcentury copper mine in the multilingual northern periphery of Norway. Taking a historical perspective on workplace multilingualism, it reveals the dynamic relationships between the economic interests and policy-making of an industrial enterprise and the political and sociolinguistic development in a multilingual region, at a time when national authorities introduced assimilation policies. Owned and managed by British industrialists, the mine recruited almost exclusively migrant workers to a remote fjord in the Norwegian periphery, many of them Kven from northern Finland and Sweden. In a multi-layered approach, the study sketches multilingual work practices, policy-making, and the discursive positioning of diversity, and explores the company's management of the relationships between capital, community, and nation-state. It reveals the company's flexible approach towards diversity governed by economic interest.
