摘要：This study investigates the use of Catalan, Spanish, and English by researchers in the sociolinguistically heterogeneous environment of the Parc Científic de Barcelona (Barcelona Science Park). Cluster analysis results show that researchers (n=179) can be divided into four groups according to their language competence and usage and also provide evidence that a) in multilingual scientific academic institutions language change processes do not occur in a compact manner and b) that English does not necessarily become the lingua franca of the institution.
