Abstract:

Visible language is widespread and familiar in everyday life. We find
it in shop signs, advertising billboards, street and place name signs,
commercial logos and slogans, and visual arts. The field of linguistic
landscapes draws on insights from sociolinguistics, language policy
and semiotics to show how these public forms of language relate to
multiple issues in language policy, language rights, language and
education, language and culture, and globalization. Stretching from
the earliest stone inscriptions, to posters and street signs, and to
today's electronic media, linguistic landscapes sit at the crossroads
of language, society, geography, and visual communication. Written by
one of the pioneers of the field, this is the first book-length
synthesis of this exciting, rapidly-developing field. Using
photographic evidence from across three continents, it demonstrates
the methodology and approaches used, and summarises its findings and
developments so far. It also seeks to answer common questions from its
critics, and to suggest new directions for further study.
