The place naming practices, management, and public attitudes concerning foreign toponyms are analyzed to reveal the cultural politics and ideologies of place naming in China's context. It is found that the foreign toponyms emplaced in urban space mostly have Western origins or roots, and their profusion is largely attributed to their associated symbolic capital, and the clientele's taste and class identity. In the rectification process, Chinese governments at different levels constructed themselves as protectors of traditional Chinese culture and guards against xenophilia, thus enhancing their symbolic power and governing legitimacy. The general public has resisted top-down toponymic planning via acts of citizenship to reclaim the rights of naming and owning public space. Our findings suggest that nowadays, even in highly regulated societies like China, it would be hard to achieve the expected planning goals when governments simply resort to hegemonic power to implement the place (re)naming policies.\n\nKeywords: place names, toponymy, xenophilia, China, politics, cultural studies, linguistic landscape", "publicationTitle": "Names: A Journal of Onomastics", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2023", "volume": "71", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "1-11", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.5195/names.2023.2435", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "China" }, { "tag": "Geographic names" }, { "tag": "Politics & culture" }, { "tag": "Power (Social sciences)" }, { "tag": "Public opinion" }, { "tag": "Public spaces" }, { "tag": "Soft power (Social sciences)" } ], "collections": [ "A2HFZBAK", "RP5J9AJM", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-14T05:37:18Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-14T05:37:30Z" } }, { "key": "ZYSXW64T", "version": 6869, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/ZYSXW64T", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/ZYSXW64T", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

Contributing to sociolinguistic research in our global cities, this study zooms in on an unexpected Chinese ethnic enclave, or Chinatown, in Dubai, a superdiverse urban space and multilingual contact zone in post-colonial UAE. Drawing on a corpus of authentic LL data taken from Dubai's emerging 'Chinatown', the study shows that a multilingual triad involving Arabic, English and Chinese is a pervasive sight in this area, deviating from the taken-for-granted and 'choreographed' bilingual LL in Dubai overall featuring Arabic and English. Notably, Chinese, as an index of ethnic, linguistic, and cultural identity and marker of boundary, is the most prominent and informative, whereas Dubai's official language Arabic often appears in small font size and is rendered inconspicuous. This gives rise to a scenario I call 'small-print multilingualism' – a conscious attempt for small-business owners to include Arabic reluctantly only to get the 'job' done and conform to relevant rules and regulations. Theoretically, this article argues for the relevance of Bakhtin's concepts of centripetal and centrifugal forces in helping shed light on the dynamic and negotiated relationship between official top-down regulations and bottom-up linguistic practices on the ground in ethnic enclaves.

By examining the New Administrative Capital of Egypt's (NAC) advertising billboards, the current study relates itself to the literature of Linguistic Landscape (LL). The study examines the NAC from a semio-discursive perspective. More specifically, it relies on the tools of Semiotic Landscape (SL) to discuss how the landscape of Cairo is represented as a heterogeneous contested space, and how the semiotic resources of its real-estate billboards epitomize Foucauldian principles of heterotopia. The study maintains that the different semiotic resources deployed in the NAC billboards commodify urban space by indexing heterotopic power relations. It is found that spatial commodification of the New Capital is embodied in two heterotopic tropes: \"silent\" space and \"carnival\" space. That is, the NAC billboards promote the consumption of the urban space by selling the heterotopic experiences of silence, and carnival-like tempo-spatiality. The study has found that the space of the NAC is semiotically presented in the landscape of Cairo as heterotopic through promoting \"different\" spatial experiences. To put it differently, the NAC billboards are perceived as antithesis to their landscapes of emplacement, the landscape of Cairo.\n\nKeywords: linguistic landscapes; social hierarchies; power; public spaces; commodification; landscapes; Cairo; Egypt; Foucault; heterotopia; NAC; semiotic landscape; spatial commodification", "publicationTitle": "Space & Culture", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2023", "volume": "26", "issue": "4", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "488-504", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1177/1206331221991323", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "CAIRO (Egypt)" }, { "tag": "COMMODIFICATION" }, { "tag": "LANDSCAPES" }, { "tag": "LINGUISTIC landscapes" }, { "tag": "POWER (Social sciences)" }, { "tag": "PUBLIC spaces" }, { "tag": "SOCIAL hierarchies" } ], "collections": [ "3AWKKAK6", "63ZNS772", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-14T05:22:52Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-14T05:23:19Z" } }, { "key": "I8EQTXFE", "version": 6861, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/I8EQTXFE", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/I8EQTXFE", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

The researchers gathered 475 images of the linguistic landscape through fieldwork in Langtou Village and conducted a qualitative investigation within the context of Chinese cultural history and village history. Based on Huebner's (2008) speaking model, researchers investigated the potential influence of time elements in the linguistic landscape on the cultural reconstruction of the village. We conclude that the linguistic landscape of Langtou Village encompasses seven types of time elements, which essentially observe content time, creation time, and feature time. The commonalities or differences among these elements give rise to time trajectories that influence the cultural reconstruction of Langtou Village. One is the cultural reconstruction of cherishing memory, which perpetuates historical information. Another is the cultural reconstruction of combining moments, which amalgamates contemporary culture and poses the risk of inauthenticity in historical villages. The study suggests that the distribution of time elements in linguistic landscapes exhibits hierarchy in real settings, which is related to the spatial regularity induced by the village's historical information. We believe that adopting a time-element-oriented perspective can deliver new recommendations for the linguistic landscape planning of traditional Chinese villages.

This study focuses on the 'schoolscape' and examines how teachers choose the languages they use for instruction. The article also examines how signage within and without the classroom space is an extended metaphor of the power dynamics that exist between English and Luganda. The study answers two questions: firstly, what are the signage-making practices in rural Ugandan primary schools and what do these say about the status of local languages? Secondly, what are the teachers' views regarding the signage-making practices in school? The study data were collected through observation, photography and interviews. The data is qualitatively analysed with the linguistic landscape and nexus analysis approach. The overarching claim made is that 'schoolscapes' are in effect microcosmic representations of wider debates foregrounded on the national language policy, which privileges English above indigenous languages. Moreover, teachers believe that indigenous languages such as Luganda hinder learners from acquiring English and therefore limit their use in learners' interactions at school. This article calls for a rethinking of such a status quo and the deconstruction of the colonial legacy of English so as to accord greater importance to local languages for purposes of teaching and learning.\n\nKeywords: language policy; language teachers; primary schools; rural schools; colonies; Uganda", "publicationTitle": "South African Journal of African Languages", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "42", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "17-30", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1080/02572117.2022.2039441", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Colonies" }, { "tag": "Language policy" }, { "tag": "Language teachers" }, { "tag": "Primary schools" }, { "tag": "Rural schools" }, { "tag": "Uganda" } ], "collections": [ "63ZNS772", "GWASJ2UE", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-10T18:08:59Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-10T18:09:14Z" } }, { "key": "XPQ63YWH", "version": 6855, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/XPQ63YWH", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/XPQ63YWH", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

Costa Rica is commonly listed among the countries that include \"voseo\" as part of its pronominal paradigm. The present descriptive study elucidates the sociolinguistic reality of \"voseo\" in Costa Rica and elaborates on the dynamics of second-person singular forms of address or register. Data were derived from a two-part study designed to investigate the use of \"usted,\" \"vos,\" and \"tú\" together with their corresponding verb forms, with whom and in which contexts are these forms of address used, how might the linguistic landscape be changing, and why. In the initial investigation, 132 in-country person-to-person interviews of native speakers from all seven provinces were conducted and analyzed. The results revealed that \"ustedeo\" was overwhelmingly the form of choice in all contexts, \"voseo\" was noticeably present, and \"tuteo\" rarely appeared in the speech of the interlocutors. Subsequent exploration of the linguistic landscape of the country as evidenced in over 500 tokens of print media and signage indicated a different usage of these forms of address. Results showed that all three forms were prevalent.

And it suggests that more researchers pay attention to the protection, inheritance and development of linguistic landscape, and experts and scholars from a wider range of fields jointly conduct research on LL with Chinese characteristics, and finally accelerate the process of globalization and internationalization in China.\n\nKeywords: linguistic landscape, a historical and cultural city, language ecology", "publicationTitle": "Theory & Practice in Language Studies", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "12", "issue": "10", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "2172-2181", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.17507/tpls.1210.25", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "China" }, { "tag": "Chinese language" }, { "tag": "Cultural landscapes" }, { "tag": "Linguistic landscapes" }, { "tag": "Qualitative research" }, { "tag": "Quantitative research" } ], "collections": [ "A2HFZBAK", "RP5J9AJM", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-10T17:57:45Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-10T17:57:53Z" } }, { "key": "4DG3GLCG", "version": 6849, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/4DG3GLCG", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/4DG3GLCG", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

By contrast, the ideological about-turn after the 1980s has had relatively little influence on the contents of street name signs.

Examining the nexus between language, socio-economic status, and government policy, the article suggests that the faulty management of multilingualism in African states produces a precarious multilinguality among citizens across the different social strata. The resultant 'linguistic precarity' creates capacity underdevelopment, entrenched poverty and the devaluation of social capital at societal and individual levels. The article draws data from three key sociolinguistic domains in Nigeria -- the school, the linguistic landscape of the urban streets, and the political terrain -- to illustrate the interesting and theoretically germane ways in which multilinguality, marginality and precarity intersect.\n\nKeywords: Multilingualism, Africa, Nigeria, Linguistic precarity, Development, Sociolinguistic profile, Socioeconomic status, Linguistic landscapes", "publicationTitle": "Multilingual Margins: Journal of Multilingualism from the Periphery", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "9", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "26-49", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.14426/mm.v9i1.1393", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Multilingualism" }, { "tag": "Nigeria" }, { "tag": "Precarity" }, { "tag": "Socioeconomic status" }, { "tag": "Sociolinguistics" } ], "collections": [ "2E7FAR4D", "63ZNS772", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-09T21:27:00Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-09T21:27:14Z" } }, { "key": "DM6GMJKV", "version": 6825, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/DM6GMJKV", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/DM6GMJKV", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

The study uses 'neoliberal governmentality' as a conceptual lens to examine how neoliberalism as an economic policy evolves into a form of governance reinforcing the logic of the market in peoples' linguistic behaviors. Drawing on a photographic survey of the linguistic landscape and ethnographic interviews, the study shows that liberalization and flexibilization of the linguistic market has allowed English and Latinized brand names in several foreign languages to occupy a substantial space, frequency, and prominence in the LL. English appears to challenge the decades old dominance of the Russian language as it evidently wields remarkable visibility as the most valued marketing tool. Glimpses of Latinized Kazakh signboards indicates a gradual bottom-up shift to Latinization of the Kazakh language. By situating language as a socially grounded practice, ethnographic analysis of linguistic landscape can provide valuable theoretical insights about different manifestations of neoliberalism, particularly showing how neoliberal governmentality shapes mental linguistic hierarchies, mobilizing peoples' subjectivities to associate language (s) with the quality of goods/products, their prices, bargaining strategies, lifestyles, and social standing. • A liberalized linguistic market has allowed English and Latinized brands names to spread in the LL. • English appears to challenge the decades old dominance of the Russian language. • Latinized Kazakh signboards indicates a bottom-up shift to Latinization. • Ethnography of linguistic landscape enables to capture forms of neoliberalism.\n\nKeywords: Neoliberal governmentality; Linguistic landscape; Linguistic subjectivities; English language; Kazakhstan", "publicationTitle": "Language Sciences", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "92", "issue": "", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1016/j.langsci.2022.101486", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Astana (Kazakhstan)" }, { "tag": "Dominant language" }, { "tag": "Kazakhstan" }, { "tag": "Linguistic landscapes" }, { "tag": "Neoliberalism" }, { "tag": "Russian language" }, { "tag": "Social hierarchies" }, { "tag": "Social status" } ], "collections": [ "A2HFZBAK", "GVZB8XWQ", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-09T21:25:44Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-09T21:25:55Z" } }, { "key": "J8YYKZFL", "version": 6822, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/J8YYKZFL", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/J8YYKZFL", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

However, these works almost exclusively examine the Global North or the Global South. Suspended somewhere between the Global North and the Global South, the so-called Global East, to which Southeast Europe belongs, is for the most part excluded not just from notions of globality, but also from LL studies. The aim of this paper is to redirect the focus of LL research to a rural area in the Global East, namely, the village Ečka in the Serbian Banat, a region with a specific and lengthy history of multilingualism. We hold that the typologies used for the study of urban LL cannot yield relevant results if applied to rural LL. Our study is based on data collected in 2020 and 2021 during six field trips to Ečka which resulted in more than 300 photographs containing inscriptions in different languages and scripts. Furthermore, we conducted participant observation by recording interviews and collecting walking narratives from locals in Serbian or Romanian. Our study confirmed that there is a gap between the official multiculturalism and multilingualism policy as declared and implemented by top-down agents and the gradual transition to monolingualism and monoscriptalism at the bottom-up level. Therefore, instead of the classical top-down and bottom-up distinction, we propose seeing the village space from a two-fold perspective: the synchronic LL, which mirrors the current use of languages, language prestige and language policies, and the memorial LL, which is a chronicle of the multilingualism of past generations and welcomes a diachronic perspective of LL.\n\nKeywords: sociolinguistics; multilingualism; scripts; Southeast Europe; Serbia; Banat; rural linguistic landscape", "publicationTitle": "Eastern European Countryside", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "28", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "51-79", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.12775/eec.2022.003", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "88RK64VS", "KRXAWB66", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-09T21:16:58Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-09T21:17:13Z" } }, { "key": "FM6VUWA5", "version": 6815, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/FM6VUWA5", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/FM6VUWA5", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

The relationship between a monolingual state language policy and the reality of language use in public spaces was investigated. This study focuses on the dynamics of the linguistic landscape of Odesa, a Russianspeaking city with a weak historical connection to the state of Ukraine, and compares them with the linguistic landscapes of central Kyiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Lviv. Linguistic landscape data are complemented with semi-structured interviews investigating de jure policies, de facto practices, and beliefs of individuals who make their language choices in public signage, often contesting the official language policy regulations. Linguistic data can deliver messages about power, values, and the salience of languages used in public places. This mixed-methods research is grounded in a critical ethnographic approach to the study of language policy, politics, and planning. The linguistic landscape in Odesa, a polyethnic city, is exceptionally dynamic in reflecting the de facto language policy in the city. The effects of globalization and language commodification were marked by compliance with the official policy on the central street, but proof of inhabitants' identity with the Russian language as the lingua franca was evident as the data collection site moved away from the city centre. This synchronic and diachronic studies of languages in Odesa is compared with the languages spoken in four Ukrainian regions and marks a proportional increase in the presence of two main languages--Ukrainian and Russian--independent of the Ukrainization efforts of the state at the time of war. It also suggests that an increase in the use of English, as observed in Odesa, is a way to avoid using the state language.\n\nKeywords: linguistic landscape, language policy, Odesa, Ukraine, diachronic study", "publicationTitle": "East/West: Journal of Ukranian Studies", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2022", "volume": "9", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "93-143", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.21226/ewjus599", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Language policy" }, { "tag": "Linguistic landscapes" }, { "tag": "Odesa (Ukraine)" }, { "tag": "Public spaces" }, { "tag": "Russian language" }, { "tag": "Ukraine" }, { "tag": "Urban studies" } ], "collections": [ "88RK64VS", "T36KE9SH", "U4RVHVAQ" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-09T21:15:22Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-09T21:15:39Z" } }, { "key": "YJBCK3XZ", "version": 6812, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/YJBCK3XZ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/YJBCK3XZ", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

Although the stores predominantly prepare these signs, they are influenced by government policy, particularly those related to social distancing. Only a quarter of these signs is multilingual, and many contain Japanese and English only. Consequently, the majority of the foreign population from non-English-speaking countries who cannot read either language well may need to rely on the images contained in COVID-19 signs and the signs' positioning to decipher the meaning. However, this paper demonstrates that neither images nor the positioning of Japanese monolingual signs is an adequate substitute for the greater use of multilingual signs.

A qualitative method was employed in analyzing the data collected from 18 commercial signages with visible bilingual puns that were located in two popular commercial centers of Guangzhou. Resultantly, Chinese-English puns largely occurred at the word level with bilingual homophones as the core of the puns on Guangzhou's commercial signage.

To this end, three cohorts of student teachers carried out LL fieldwork, uploaded images of English signage to an LL application, Lingscape, and submitted a mini research paper on the use of Englishes. They also wrote a reflective journal featuring a discussion of their experiences. Qualitative content analysis was utilized to interpret the data for the purpose of illustrating major themes emerging from the data. The findings highlighted a heightened awareness among student teachers towards locating and reflecting on Englishes in everyday contexts, an improved understanding of English as a lingua franca and Global Englishes, and their intentions to adopt Global-Englishes-oriented language teaching practices in the future. The study concludes by discussing the implications of this approach, and calls for a wider inclusion of LL-centred tasks in EFL teacher education curricula.\n\nKeywords: Higher Education; English; Teacher Education Curriculum; Second Language Learning; Language Variation; Signs; Language Attitudes; Student Teachers", "publicationTitle": "ELT Journal: English Language Teaching Journal", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2023", "volume": "77", "issue": "4", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "416-425", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1093/elt/ccad027", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "English language education" }, { "tag": "English teachers" }, { "tag": "Linguistics" }, { "tag": "Student teachers" }, { "tag": "Teacher education" } ], "collections": [ "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-09T17:24:19Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-09T17:24:21Z" } }, { "key": "QSM75Z5C", "version": 6805, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 216092, "name": "Linguistic Landscape Bibliography", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/216092/items/QSM75Z5C", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/linguistic_landscape_bibliography/items/QSM75Z5C", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1597130, "username": "Rob Troyer", "name": "Robert A.

In each society, naming practices follow patterns that are generally predictable within their respective and identifiable feature categories.Names come from different sources and are inspired by the lived experiences of their bestowers. Whilst some names have clear and easily traceable meanings owing to their semantically transparent morphology or syntax, other meanings are only accessible when one gleans through the histories behind the names. Such histories come from the name givers’ epistemological systems. Thus, besides being forms of identity, different categories of names perform different functions. This paper is an analysis of inscriptions written on public transport vehicles, commonly known as kombis. We argue that these inscriptions are names. Hence, the article interrogates the functions of these names and tries to unearth the philosophies contained therein. The inscriptions were gathered from kombis plying their routes on the streets of Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city. Data relating to the origins of these names and their semantic, cultural, and social significance was collected from kombi owners and crews.\n\nKeyword(s): Harare; inscription; kombi; mobile philosophy; operational name", "publicationTitle": "International Journal of Language and Culture", "publisher": "John Benjamins", "place": "", "date": "2023", "volume": "10", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "269-287", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1075/ijolc.00055.cha", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "63ZNS772", "P2FAR2AP", "T36KE9SH" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2026-04-09T17:19:44Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-09T17:19:56Z" } } ]
