Description
This book is a compilation of essays on the linguistic landscape, which examines how language is used in different contexts. The essays are written by experts in the field and cover a variety of topics, including theoretical, methodological, and critical perspectives. The book is divided into three sections, each with its own focus. The first section covers the linguistic landscape in international contexts, the second section looks at the linguistic landscape in public spaces, and the third section discusses the implications of the linguistic landscape for language teaching and learning. There are also photographs throughout the book illustrating the use of language in different contexts.
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 recognized experts, the articles in

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,
