“…However, as noted by Reyes (2014) in his work in Philippines, it is more appropriate to consider the situation as unilateral because of the overwhelming prevalence of English on the signs. The dominance of English in the linguistic landscape of Accra corroborates the fi ndings of studies conducted by Reyes (2014), Shibliyev (2014), Koschade (2016), Loth (2016), Zimny (2017), and Lusekelo and Alphonce (2018).…”

“…One signifi cant result that has been consistent in the majority of these studies (Reyes, 2014;Shibliyev, 2014;Koschade, 2016;Loth, 2016;Zimny, 2017;Lusekelo & Alphonce, 2018) is the preponderance of English in the linguistic landscape of both rural and urban areas. In their study, Lusekelo and Alphonce (2018) examined the state of multilingualism in the linguistic landscape of billboards and shop-signs of urban areas in Tanzania.…”

Using the mixed method research approach, this study investigated the linguistic landscape of the central business district of Accra, Ghana. The study employed both the Ethnolinguistic Vitality Theory (EV) and the Place Semiotics Theory to explore the types of signage displayed by shop owners in the Makola market, the languages used on these signs, the dominant language(s) on the signs and how the use of language reflects the ethnolinguistic vitality of the local languages used in Accra. The findings present a very busy linguistic landscape where shop owners use the names of their companies and the products they sell as a marketing strategy through a variety of modes including signboards, billboards, taglines, and signposts to attract customers. There was also a preponderance of English in the linguistic landscape of Accra, which establishes English as a powerful tool for inter-ethnic communication and national integration, giving an implicit impression of low vitality of indigenous languages in the space.

Abstract. The present study provides a snapshot of Polish and Lithuanian linguistic landscapes (LLs) in several resort cities situated in the border areas of the two countries. The data consists of 515 digital pictures of multilingual signs collected in the central and thus the most touristic parts of the cities. The main objectives in this research are to identify the authorship of multilingual signs, determine the types of establishments that employ multilingual signage, and analyse which languages coexist in popular tourist destinations. The interpretation of the results is grounded on the interrelation between multilingual signage, tourism as an important economic factor, and official language policies. The findings show that at least some major tendencies in language displays in LL do relate to tourist exchange and tourists' needs. However, some trends (e.g. absence of Russian in Polish LLs) need to be analysed with regard to symbolic, economic, and ideological values attached to non-titular languages.

“…From this viewpoint, Visaginas has its own justification. The language situation there indicates the changes in the city, shows the representatives of diverse population, and might serve as a laboratory to focus on the issue of how different forces conflict or coordinate their attitudes (Shibliyev, 2014). The function of English, as a global player, is interesting to observe as well because the power and prestige of Russian is still dominating the locality.…”

The main topic of the chapter is related to the changes that took place during the historical stage of the industrial period. The changes are analysed through the preservation and revitalisation of objects, the perspective of landscape reconstruction, and the renewal of the urban city. The main keywords in the chapter are related to the preservation of industrial heritage, the meaning of historical events, the determination of the value of remembrance based on the theory of the scar, the importance of identity, and the principles of educational tourism. In this work, the case study method is applied. The underlying principles of this method allow to devise certain characteristic strategies in constructing the new face of an industrial heritage object, post-industrial landscape, or urban city. The case study discusses the example of the Ruhr area in Germany through which certain trends on how problematic and specific objects are transformed into part of the cultural heritage and places of interest are shown. The obtained results are presented in connection with the challenges posed by the closure of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP) and the search for the new identity in the city of Visaginas. The study report also presents elements of a sustainable and long-term industrial heritage analysis scheme including the uniqueness of the site, its significance to society, value potential, approaches to demonstrating objects based on constructivist philosophy, educational tourism, and new learning experiences.
