Linguistic Landscape : Expanding the Scenery

In this comprehensive and pioneering volume, language scholars from around the world examine the "linguistic landscape" from multiple perspectives -- theoretical, methodological, and critical. Written by widely recognised experts, the articles in Linguistic Landscape analyse linguistic landscapes in a range of international contexts. Dozens of photographs illustrate the use of language in the environment -- the words and images displayed and exposed in public spaces.

Suitable for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language policy studies, Linguistic Landscape is a vital contribution to a burgeoning field.
