In this course, students are introduced to linguistic landscape (LL) research, the branch on sociopragmatics dealing with the study of (written) language in public space. Although LL research has been historically connected to the study of bi- and multi-lingualism in specific communities, with special focus on linguistic diversity and ethnolinguistic vitality, there has recently been a decisive turn to more experimental approaches focusing on the symbolic significance of written messages in relation to wider discourses produced and reproduced within a community and which have to do with local hierarchies. This “second wave” in LL research studies the dynamic semiotic landscape, habitually entailing ethnographic linguistic landscape research, which is informed by the notion of superdiversity (considered to describe more aptly the degree of attested variation in language). Moreover, research is currently geared towards the study of semiotic landscapes through the narratives of bodily lived experience of LL agents and the role of performativity of the body in the process of resignifying space. In contrast to “first wave” LL research, which was branded by quantitative methods (characteristic of traditional sociology of language), “second wave” LL research begins from superdiversity as an attested fact and presupposes an ethnographic approach to discourse produced in public space.
