Crossing borders: A journey towards expanding linguistic landscapes in Asia and Oceania

Abstract

This issue builds on sociolinguistic research on indigenous languages, visual and auditory semiotics, material ethnography, and multicultural practices to develop a nuanced understanding of linguistic landscapes in the Asia Pacific context. The contributions to this issue, from Vanuatu to Hong Kong, disrupt the boundaries between the rural and the urban, the linguistic and the semiotic, the powerful and the marginal.
