Drawing on the notion of sociolinguistic scaling, the present contribution takes an asylum seeking centre as a unit of inquiry in which sociolinguistic repertoires are played out during intercultural communicative encounters. It shows how the centre’s spaces encapsulate time and space bound interactional regimes and language hierarchies. Taken as such, the different rooms of the centre, e.g. the office, the activity room and the corridor, all may seem neutral spaces where the daily lives of asylum seekers unfold. Yet again, each of these spaces reveals itself to be a power saturated environment where interactional sociolinguistic regimes lead to micro-practices of inclusion and exclusion. The article concludes with a consideration on whether the homogeneous category ‘newcomer in need of civic integration’ authored by many governments across Europe, should not be re-evaluated, in the light of the affordances of sociolinguistic scaling and digital literacy potentials that each of these newly arrived individuals have in stock in their repertoires.

社会语言行为的互动机制：对寻求庇护中心空间中各个尺度的人种学探索

借鉴社会语言定标的概念，本文稿以寻求庇护中心为调查单位，在跨文化的交际交流中发挥社会语言功能。它显示了中心的空间如何封装时间和空间约束的交互方式以及语言层次结构。因此，中心的不同房间，例如办公室，活动室和走廊，似乎都是寻求庇护者日常生活的中立空间。再一次，这些空间中的每一个都显示出自己是一个权力饱和的环境，在这种环境中，相互作用的社会语言制度导致了包容和排斥的微观实践。本文最后考虑了欧洲许多国家/地区的政府是否撰写了同类类别的“需要公民融合的新移民”，
