This collection represents contemporary perspectives on important
aspects of research into the language in the public space, known as
the Linguistic Landscape (LL), with the focus on the negotiation
and contestation of identities. From four continents, and examining
vital issues across North America, Africa, Europe and Asia,
scholars with notable experience in LL research are drawn together
in this, the latest collection to be produced by core researchers
in this field. Building on the growing published body of research
into LL work, the fifteen data chapters test, challenge and advance
this sub-field of sociolinguistics through their close examination
of languages as they appear on the walls and in the public spaces
of sites from South Korea to South Africa, from Italy to Israel,
from Addis Ababa to Zanzibar. The geographic coverage is matched by
the depth of engagement with developments in this burgeoning field
of scholarship. As such, this volume is an up-to-date collection of
research chapters, each of which addresses pertinent and important
issues within their respective geographic spaces.
