| Description | Linguistic landscapes are not only an everyday phenomenon, but they also comprise direct confrontation with social reality and provide insights into the specific, culturally pre-structured communication situations, and can also provide interesting impulses for foreign language teaching. The paper deals with the linguistic landscapes as a scientific paradigm in its various manifestations. Particular attention is paid first to the current paradigm, which also creates an expanded empirical basis for the field of foreign language learning and teaching. Then, the didactics potential of linguistic landscapes will be examined by addressing the linguistic diversity that can be detected in the urban area of Brno. Finally, it will be shown how the project entitled “The Linguistic Landscapes of Brno” not only reflects the language contacts and the language policy in this area, but also makes the cultural contacts that take place here transparent and shows how public space is used as a platform for discourse. |
