Review Quotes:
This volume makes a dynamic contribution to the developing field of Linguistic Landscape research. Using insights from around the world, the authors show novel and imaginative ways of renegotiating concepts of 'language' and 'landscape' in the light of multimodality, language power and conflict, discourse, and translation within a changing global culture.
