Abstract

This contribution is concerned with the impact of multilingualism on forced migrants’ trajectories. Drawing on a corpus of linguistic ethnographic data that was collected over a two-year period, it focuses on the experiences of two individuals who were granted international protection in Luxembourg. Key events and anecdotes are used to reconstruct their sociolinguistic trajectories, learning histories, and mobile aspirations before and after settling in the Grand Duchy. Despite having similar linguistic repertoires, “Ahmad” and “Patrick” reported disparate experiences. This chapter provides unique insights into how linguistic integration is understood and experienced in multilingual societies.
