Comment/Description

Language is all around us, in signs, graffiti, posters, stickers, shop names, and public notices. In this seminar, we explore how language in public spaces reflects and shapes social life. What can signage tell us about identity, power, multilingualism, or exclusion?

Students will carry out small fieldwork projects, collecting and analysing real-world examples from their own surroundings. Together, we will discuss how space, language, and society interact and what this tells us about the world we live in.
