The editors have accomplished something truly vital here. Marking an important, energizing step forwards in semiotic landscape studies, we have a volume which unapologetically centers people and the ways they live in/with place feeling spaces, imagining spaces, embodying spaces, and inserting or asserting themselves into/over spaces. Teaming with new voices and new ideas, this collection will expand our ecologies and, quite literally, our horizons. * Crispin Thurlow, Professor of Language and Communication, University of Bern, Switzerland * People create, occupy and consume linguistic landscapes. Simple. Brilliant! * Adam Jaworski, Chair Professor of Sociolinguistics, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong * Linguistic Landscape scholars have demonstrated that they can energise and strengthen sociolinguistics. In this inspiring volume the authors analyse in various contexts the relationship between place and how people make sense of themselves and others. They discuss issues of identity, community and materiality in important ways. These innovative ideas will have an impact on theoretical and methodological approaches and will be a basis for exciting lines of research in future work on Linguistic Landscapes. * Durk Gorter, Ikerbasque Research Professor, University of the Basque Country, Donostia-San Sebastiįn, Spain *
