This article utilizes Bourdieu's sociology to grasp the relations between linguistic practice and spatiality, and, through that effort, to position language as a pivotal terrain in internationalizing academe. Empirically, it explores Swedish academe and the linguistic practices of its dwellers: Swedish-speaking and non-Swedish-speaking researchers in four disciplines. Here, Swedish co-exists with English as a lingua franca and other languages. Observational and interview data show that this situation gives rise to complex linguistic practices in the workplace, consisting of speakers alternating between Swedish and English or evading other languages. Following Bourdieu, these phenomena manifest in moments when matters of space are rendered salient. They show that linguistic practice is bound up with space to the extent that their interrelationship becomes discernable only when the spatial logic that confines linguistic practices is rejigged. While linguistic practices seemingly operate on a location-based principle, they actually pertain to speakers’ linguistic habitus in relation to the linguistic market conditions in play.

语言实践的空间逻辑：布迪厄斯对语言和学术国际化的进军

本文利用布迪厄的社会学来把握语言实践与空间性之间的关系，并通过这种努力将语言定位为学术国际化的关键领域。根据经验，它探讨了瑞典学术界及其居民的语言实践：四个学科的瑞典语和非瑞典语研究人员。在这里，瑞典语与英语作为通用语和其他语言并存。观察和访谈数据表明，这种情况会导致工作场所的复杂语言实践，包括瑞典语和英语之间交替使用或回避其他语言的人。继布迪厄之后，这些现象在空间问题变得突出的时刻表现出来。他们表明，语言实践与空间息息相关，以至于只有当限制语言实践的空间逻辑被重新调整时，它们的相互关系才能变得清晰可辨。虽然语言实践看似以基于位置的原则运作，但它们实际上与说话者的语言习惯有关，与正在发挥作用的语言市场条件有关。（语言实践、空间、国际化学术）*
