The Linguistic Landscape in Spanish in the UK

Authors

  • Raquel Navas UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK

Abstract

The objective of this article is to explore the role of the Linguistic Landscape (LL) as a tool to connect Spanish language with its culture(s) through a project with undergraduate students at a British university.  The purpose of the project is to bridge the gap between language modules and culture modules by integrating reflections about linguistic, lexical, and grammatical items on a culture module about textual identity, using signage and other environmental print samples in Spanish in the community where students live and study.
