Description: Taking its point of departure in the theory of language hierarchisation, the article discusses language representation and choice of languages in international companies in Denmark. Two sets of data are analysed; the first analysis is based on 13 interviews in international companies and shows how languages are represented in the companies investigated. The second analysis is based on video recordings of informal language use and shows how the companies' employees use language in their lunch breaks. The data confirm the prominent role of English has (next to Danish) in this context. What the data also show is that the language hierarchy in question should include German. Based on these empirical studies, the article further aims to contribute to the development of the concept of language hierarchisation.
