E-raamat: Linguistic Landscapes: A Sociolinguistic Approach

'This book is one of a kind. It studies linguistic landscape from all major disciplinary angles which this topic is tackled from by its numerous students - from sociologists to researchers in art and design. The fruit of immense knowledge, this book pays due tribute to the methodological diversity which has warranted the rapid growth of the field among scientists in recent years. Above all, the book shows, with clarity and conviction, how linguistic landscape research accounts for the life of language in society.' Eliezer Ben-Rafael, Professor Emeritus, Tel-Aviv University 'In this first, thorough textbook for a new, dynamic field, Kallen takes the reader on a superb journey across multilingual texts written in space.' Adam Jaworski, Emeritus Professor, University of Hong Kong '[ This] book offers a panorama of sociolinguistic approaches towards linguistic landscapes, which enables researchers to conduct meaningful research from multiple dimensions of LL signs - communicative choices, indexicals of space, interactive relationships, and traces of historicity.' Zhixin Liu, Language in Society 'A welcome addition and must-read reference work for scholars and students interested in LL.' Hongbo Zheng, Language Policy
