Beskrivning
This work studies aspects of the symbolic construction of public spaces by means of linguistic resources (i.e. linguistic landscapes or LLs) in a number of world-cities. The sociology of language leads us to this field and to study the intermingling impacts of globalization, the national principle and multiculturalism – each one conveying its own distinct linguistic markers: international codes, national languages and ethnic vernaculars. Eliezer and Miriam Ben-Rafael study the configurations of these influences, which they conceptualize as multiple globalization, in the LLs of downtowns, residential quarters, and marginal neighborhoods of a number of world-cities. They ask how far worldwide codes of communication gain preeminence, national languages are marginalized and ethnic vernaculars impactful. They conclude by suggesting a paradigm of multiple globalizations.

Recensioner i media

",,, the book is valuable for providing an overarching framework of societal influences upon the LL of world-cities. Scholars will also benefit immensely from the authors' summaries of a wealth of sociological theory bearing upon modernity, globalisation, multiculturalism and transnational diasporas, and nationhood." - Robert A. Troyer, Western Oregon University, in: Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development“This volume is undoubtedly a very solid contribution to the rather new field of LL (Linguistic Landscapes): on the one hand because of its sound grounding in sociological theory on globalization and multiculturalism, and on the other, for the promising theoretical model Ben-Rafael and Ben-Rafael have elaborated of a LL paradigm for multiple globalizations.” - Christine Hélot, University of Strasbourg, in: Linguistic Landscape 6/1 (2020)
