This book opens readers' eyes to something they see all the time
but take for granted: street signs. It is a portrait of the signs
on modern English streets: what they look like, who and what they
are for, how they link to English history and how they form part of
life in multilingual England today. It describes how their shapes,
materials, letters, vocabulary, and grammar differ from other forms
of written English, using a framework based on linguistics,
typography and writing systems research. It provides readable and
entertaining insights into an important use of written English,
illustrated with over 400 examples of street signs. The book
represents a starting point for the study of street signs as an
academic area in its own right.
