The Handbook of Linguistic Landscapes and Multilingualism

Beschreibung

An essential resource for understanding linguistic landscapes and their role in multilingual contexts worldwide The Handbook of Linguistic Landscapes and Multilingualism provides an in-depth exploration of linguistic landscapes as a tool to understand multilingualism across diverse global contexts. Edited by leading scholars Durk Gorter and Jasone Cenoz, this authoritative volume brings together pioneering research on the evolving interactions between language, place, space, and society. Addressing both theory and practice, this handbook serves as a unique lens into how linguistic landscapes reflect broader social, political, and educational dynamics. In-depth chapters address topics ranging from translanguaging and minority language ideologies to the application of linguistic landscapes in multilingual cities and classrooms. Organised into three parts, the book first establishes the theoretical and methodological foundations of linguistic landscape studies, followed by detailed case studies of the relationship between linguistic landscapes and multilingualism in diverse social and geographic contexts. The concluding section focusses on the educational implications of linguistic landscapes, examining how schoolscapes and public spaces can be utilised for language learning and teaching. Equipping readers to critically engage with multilingual practices in urban spaces, educational settings, and beyond, the Handbook of Linguistic Landscapes and Multilingualism: * Introduces cutting-edge methodologies, socio-political contexts, and language learning through linguistic landscapes * Covers emerging topics such as transgressive practices, landscapes of affect, and linguistic landscapes of protest and conflict * Describes key theoretical concepts and identifies the interdisciplinary connections between ethnography, sociolinguistics, and discourse studies * Explores innovative pedagogical approaches, and translanguaging practices, with an emphasis on empowering learners in multilingual environments Designed to fit seamlessly into curricula focused on multilingualism and language policy across a range of academic disciplines, the Handbook of Linguistic Landscapes and Multilingualism is ideal for graduate students, post-graduate researchers, and scholars in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, education sciences, language studies, and social geography.
