Linguistic Landscape

This book proposes to provide a resource to students and researchers in the field of Applied Linguistics on the topic of the linguistic landscape. This 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. It is a form of urban multilingualism. Most studies on LL so far have been descriptive and there is an apparent absence of studies that examine LL from more theoretical, methodological and critical perspectives.
