Contents:
Multilingualism plays a major role in tourism, either to provide tourists with (linguistic) access to tourist sites and objects, or to symbolically represent the identity of a place and its inhabitants through language. Multilingualism often manifests itself in the so-called Linguistic Landscapes, i.e. the public signage of space, the labelling of objects displayed in this space. In the research of Linguistic Landscapes, which has been a topic of sociolinguistics and multilingualism research for some years, the connection between tourism and Linguistic Landscapes plays an increasingly important role, as can be seen in corresponding publications on very different regions of the world. In this seminar we will deal with the theory of Linguistic Landscapes on the one hand, and on the other hand we want to go on an excursion to the city of Heidelberg to make and analyse a corpus of Linguistic Landscapes of this city which is very frequented by tourism.
