Annotation

Multilingualism appears less important in the social and working lives of Brussels-based EU civil servants and lobbyists than supposed (cf. Phillipson, 2003), given the overall dominance of (Euro-)English and the preference of more power-neutral language use, even at the expense of mutual comprehension.
