Hinter Sighetu Marmației springen die zweisprachigen Ortstafeln lustig zwischen Ukrainisch, Ungarisch und Slowakisch hin und her und gipfeln im dreisprachigen Schild von Satu Mare/Szatmárnémeti/Sathmar.

Sorted photos documenting the #LinguisticLandscape at and near at and near Russian and Ukrainian Embassies in Riga. 10 more cities to go.

A sample

#PresentationPrep

A signboard in the park opposite the Russian and Ukrainian Embassies in Riga, Latvia. The text reads "Faces of Russian Resistance" n English with a misplaced # for a hashtag. Navalny's face is large and centered. Smaller mages of eight others surround him.

Interesting sign with the image not conveying to me a meaning of 'don't sit here' and the exclamation mark adding a bit of potential confusion here in the English text. Still a neat sign which is part of the directive #LinguisticLandscape of Seoul!

Volcano Carbonara That's Creamy Spicy! An angry chicken and an erupting volcano create quite an image here. that the blurb about creamy spicy is in English when the larger colorful text is Korean. Time to look more at the noodle #LinguisticLandscape?

Unappetitliche Hundekacke vor dem Haus wurde von Unbekannten in ein wunderschönes Kunstwerk verwandelt.

Photo eines Gehwegabschnitts an Hauswand, auf dem Boden verstreute Stücke Hundescheiße. Auf einem schönen dicken Stück ist eine kleine Flagge wie man sie sonst vielleicht auf Kuchen erwarten würde befestigt, mit der Aufschrift "AfD ist [und einem Pfeil nach unten in Richtung Kacke]"

TEISTY BURGER on a burger! Part of the on-the-actual-food food #LinguisticLandscape! Was very tasty! Wondering about the interesting spelling, especially with some of the other items on the menu . . .

Sometimes the delivery motorbike rear storage box #LinguisticLandscape has some fascinating English language punning . . . Very purr-ny sticker here . . .

"Lemon Tea The English custom of enjoying afternoon tea was introduced by the Duchess of Bedford" Interesting Japanese and English text on this tea bottle bought in Seoul. Just part of the globally circulating tea #LinguisticLandscape!

A handwritten caution and danger sign in both Korean and English at a cafe in Seoul. Interesting to see how emphasis is done in both languages: circle, line, capital letters, heart, placement on the sign, and more. Part of the cafe #LinguisticLandscape of Seoul!

Marked contrast with the Russian Embassy yesterday. There, two young female private security guards lounged in front of the gate. Chatting and scrolling. They didn't seem to take any notice of me at all as I photographed all of the signs posters flags etc in front of the embassy.

It's a shame! The Ukrainian Embassy was much more interesting. A couple of makeshift memorials left by visitors. And a great photo exhibition with explanatory posters lined the fence in front. #linguisticlandscape

Have a lot of photographic data for two #linguisticlandscape studies. Need to wrangle it into a presentable website. Tried WP bc it is what I know best, but it is such a pain.

No luck with various image galleries.

Trying a new-to-me CMS #omeka which looks like the best fit. Should eventually be able to bulk upload and autopopulate a lot of the metadata.

roadside-observations.net/repo

Need to edit the theme and do server stuff so it doesn't look like much now, but soon! Easy to work with.

Gaeltacht heißt auch: Deutlich weniger Englisch, Irisch klar an erster Stelle und oft allein zu sehen. Aber wie gesagt auf einige recht kleine Gebiete im Westen der Insel begrenzt.

Und im Detail sind die Preisschilder im Supermarkt dann eben doch wieder exklusiv auf Englisch.

Eindruck nach einer Woche: Sprachenpolitisch kann man #Irland im Vergleich zu #Wales getrost vergessen. Irisch hat hier im öffentlichen Raum höchstens Symbolfunktion, wenn überhaupt.
