This book explores the Linguistic Landscapes of ten French and
Italian Mediterranean coastal cities. The authors address the
national languages, the regional languages and dialects, migrant
languages, and the English language, as they collectively mark the
public space.
A historically, spatially and methodologically rich sub-field of
sociolinguistics, Linguistic Landscapes (LL) is a rapidly evolving
area of research and study. With contributions by an international
team of experts from the USA, Europe, the UK, South Africa, Israel,
Hong Kong and Colombia, this volume is a cutting-edge,
interdisciplinary account of the most recent theoretical and
empirical developments in this area. It covers both the conceptual
tools and methodologies used to define and question, and case
studies of real-world phenomena to showcase Linguistic Landscapes
methods in action. Divided into four parts, chapters bring into
dialogue themes relating to reterritorialization practices and the
productive nature of boundaries and spaces. This book considers the
contemporary challenges facing the field, the politics and
processes of identifying and demarcating 'sites of research', and
the ethics and pedagogical applications of LL research. With
comprehensive lists of further reading, extended discussion
questions and suggestions for independent research at the end of
each chapter, this is an essential reference work for all LL
scholars and students who wish to keep abreast of the current state
of the art.
