Meeting Description:

In the last years, there has been a strong drive within Linguistic Landscape
studies to 'go beyond the signs', which often has been interpreted as talking
to the producers, owners and readers of signs to learn more about how they
conceptualise the value and meaning of signs and languages. The 12th
Linguistic Landscape Workshop invites you to take a closer look at the
political, economic and technological structures and processes that regulate
the production, circulation and consumption of semiotic resources in and about
places. A political economic perspective on language allows us to
conceptualise the differential valorisation of semiotic resources in
particular spaces and places. This is important since different language
hierarchies and regimes prevail in different spatiotemporal contexts,
resulting in varied (in)visibility and (im)mobility for individual semiotic
resources.

Conference venue: Conference Centre Wallenberg, University of Gothenburg,
Sweden.
Conference homepage: https://sprak.gu.se/english/research/conferences/ll12
The homepage will soon include detailed information on Registration and
