Heiko F. Marten / Maris Saagpakk (Hg.): Linguistic Landcapes und Spot German an der Schnittstelle von Sprachwissenschaft und Deutschdidaktik

A Panorama of Linguistic Landscape Studies

“…Some edited collections have addressed topics such as monuments and museums (Blackwood & Macalister, 2019), protest movements (Martín Rojo, 2016) and conflicts (Rubdy & Ben Said, 2015). Other collections bring studies together that focus on a specific language, usually in contact with other languages, like French (Castillo Lluch et al, 2019;Eibensteiner et al, 2022), German (Marten & Saagpakk, 2017;Ziegler & Marten, 2021) and Spanish (Gubitosi & Ramos Pellicia, 2021). Special issues of journals are another way to focus on one specific topic, for example, mobility (Moriarty, 2014a), multimodality (Zabrodskaja & Milani, 2014), typography (Järlehed & Jaworski, 2015), migration (Ariolfo & Mariottini, 2018), visceral landscapes (Stroud et al, 2019), creativity (Moriarty & Järlehed, 2019), writing (Jaworski & Li, 2021), ideology and commemoration (Fabiszak & Buchstaller, 2021) as well as focusing on one country (Japan, Thailand or India).…”

Linguistic Landscapes and Educational Spaces Edina Krompák, Víctor Fernández-Mallat and Stephan Meyer (eds) (2021)

“…One important strand in this development is the connection between LL studies and education. Early influential individual studies and educational projects (e.g., Cenoz and Gorter, 2008;Lazdiņa and Marten, 2009;Sayer, 2010;Brown, 2012) were succeeded by collections of articles (e.g., Marten and Saagpakk, 2017;Badstübner-Kizik and Janíková, 2018;Malinowski, Maxim and Dubreil, 2020). It is in this light that the volume Linguistic Landscapes and educational spaces by Edina Krompák, Víctor Fernández-Mallat, and Stephan Meyer has to be evaluated.…”
