Series: Bloomsbury Handbooks

Presenting a detailed examination of the origins, evolutions, and state-of-the-art of linguistic landscape research, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Linguistic Landscapes is a comprehensive guide to the burgeoning field of linguistic landscapes and the study of meaning and interpretation in public spaces and settings.

Providing a thorough synopsis of the theories, methodologies, and objects of study which inflect linguistic landscape research across the world, this book is the ideal companion for both new and experienced readers interested in the processes of communication in public spaces across diverse settings and from a broad range of perspectives. Through a wide selection of case studies and original research, the handbook highlights the global reach of linguistic landscape theories and practices. Scrutinising an array of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodological approaches for analysing a wide spectrum of meaning-making phenomena, it investigates semiosis in contexts ranging from graffiti and street signs to tattoos and literature, visible across a variety of sites, including city centres, rural settings, schools, protest marches, museums, war-torn landscapes, and the internet.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Linguistic Landscapes

Brings together an impressive group of researchers in the rapidly growing and diversifying field of Linguistic Landscape studies, from well-known founding figures in the field to early career researchers. The volume as a whole provides a comprehensive introduction to this exciting young field of research and will prove valuable to both new and established researchers. Each chapter can be used on its own for teaching purposes as well as guidance for research projects. - Dawn Marley, Associate Professor in French Studies, University of Surrey, UK. A very comprehensive volume on the rapidly growing field of Linguistic Landscape Studies by three of the leading scholars in the field. A valuable resource book for academic libraries, for serious scholars of sociolinguistics, semiotics and anthropology, and for those interested in learning about the place of language and culture in the public space. * Thom Huebner, Professor Emeritus, Linguistics and Language Development, San Jose State University, USA *
