摘要
本文旨在对语言学景观这一新兴研究领域做一述评。在介绍语言景观定义和研究简史后,文章总结了本领域十大最重要的论文集,为读者提供一个研究概貌。接着介绍了本领域的专业学术期刊《语言景观》和在线文献目录,并总结出该领域两种主要的研究方法:定性的人种学研究和定量的变异研究。然后概述了英语传播、语言政策、教育环境中的语言景观等重要研究话题。在此基础上,文章提出了该领域面临的一些挑战,包括理论的杂糅,以及一些方法论问题,如分析单位的不统一和景观符号的动态性。文章建议未来采用混合式研究方法。最后对语言景观的未来研究进行了展望,其中涉及语言符号展示方式的技术创新、增强现实,以及围绕语言竞争、语言权力或语言多样性、多语现象等方面的问题。人们期望语言景观领域将继续发展出新的创造性研究方法。
Abstract
This article aims to provide a short introduction to the emerging field of Linguistic Landscape Studies. It starts off by providing a definition of linguistic landscape and a short history of the field. The second part summarizes the ten most important edited books in order to provide a basic overview. It further mentions the specialized journal ‘Linguistic Landscape’ and the dedicated online bibliography. A summary is given of the qualitative ethnographic approach and the quantitative variationist approach as the two main methodological approaches. The third part gives an outline of the main points of projects on important themes like the spread of English or language policy or studies in educational contexts. Thereafter some of the challenges to the field are presented, among those, its theoretical heterogeneity and some methodological issues such as the unit of analysis and the dynamic nature of the signs. Mixed methods are seen as a way forward. In the final part future perspectives are discussed among which technologically innovative displays of language, Augmented Reality, but also issues around contestation and power or topics like language diversity and multilingualism. The expectation is that the field of linguistic landscape studies will continue to develop new and creative approaches.
