Linguistic Landscape

Proposes to offer a resource to students and researchers in the field of Applied Linguistics on the topic of the linguistic landscape. This book refers to the signs, directions, and other documentation that appear in the public space, and includes the interpretation of this 'visible language' in social, political, and economic contexts.

In this comprehensive and pioneering volume, language scholars from around the world examine the "linguistic landscape" from multiple perspectives – theoretical, methodological, and critical. Written by widely recognized experts, the articles in Linguistic Landscape analyze linguistic landscapes in a range of international contexts. Dozens of photographs illustrate the use of language in the environment – the words and images displayed and exposed in public spaces. Suitable for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language policy studies, Linguistic Landscape is a vital contribution to a burgeoning field.
