Abstract:

This book provides a forum for theoretical, methodological and empirical
contributions to research on language(s), multimodality and public space,
which will advance new ways of understanding the sociocultural, ideological
and historical role of communication practices and experienced lives in a
globalised world. Linguistic Landscape is viewed as a metaphor and expanded to
include a wide variety of discursive modalities: imagery, non-verbal
communication, silence, tactile and aural communication, graffiti, smell, etc.
The chapters in this book cover a range of geographical locations, and capture
the history, motives, uses, causes, ideologies, communication practices and
conflicts of diverse forms of languages as they may be observed in public
spaces of the physical environment. The book is anchored in a variety of
theories, methodologies and frameworks, from economics, politics and sociology
to linguistics and applied linguistics, literacy and education, cultural
geography and human rights.
