Language contact and change, and multilingualism as one of their consequences, have been common phenomena both in the past and the present. In spite of this, multilingualism in particular is often viewed as a problematic practice. In this seminar, we will discuss and investigate multilingual practices and you will be introduced to the technique of linguistic landscaping, which helps us to collect data on language use in a community. In particular, we will work on an analysis of the multilingual linguistic landscape of Rostock over the course of the semester. You will spend a significant amount of time in the field collecting and analysing data and putting our findings together into a publishable format. |
