Today I am doing my part in #SciComm: I am a #LinguisticLandscape today with my "avocato" T-shirt for my class on #ScienceWriting. It's a avocado shaped cat or a cat shaped avocado and the writing says "avocato"

Today in the #LinguisticLandscape: What could make your skyr more #Icelandic than replacing a vowel with a "ð"? #linguistics

I recently came across this intriguing #linguisticlandscape. Anyone care to guess which German small town has so many traces of #Dutch? #sociolinguistcs #linguisticlandscapes

Spent two hours walking a circuit through #Ayutthaya Old City this morning and photographed about 200 shop signs. Pics later after I get them out of the camera.

A nice #bilingual café sign in Haifa, "Mishwar" in Arabic and English (generally a trip or errand, but apparently has other meanings as well), and "kafih" as café in Arabic (instead of literary "maqhah")

Knowers of #Thailand, I need some feedback please. There is a paper titled "A LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS OF PATTAYA, THAILAND’S SIN CITY" and I want to do a sort of replication, but not Sin City. The opposite. Think Snooze City. More grandpa than gangster. I'm thinking Hua Hin as the anti-Pattaya. Is that right? #LinguisticLandscape #travel #advice

"Xoref.com": lots of interesting stuff in this poster for a winter festival in Jerusalem, from phonetic "X" for #Hebrew "ḥet" in ḥoref (winter), to the diminutive "multiculti" for multicultural...

It’s Ludwik Zamenhof’s (1859-1917) 163th birthday today 💚 To celebrate, I decided to pay a visit to Berlin’s Esperantoplatz in Berlin-Neukölln.
PS: There’s also a Zamenhofpark in Berlin-Lichtenberg, but that was a bit too far away.

@bgainor @yEvb0 Just walked by the location. The food court is closed, replaced with a ghost kitchen.
The #LinguisticLandscape things I find most interesting are Japanese: the line break in "Mas-Hita" and the katakana under Butterfish!
I am creating a 300-level course on #ecolinguistics and #raciolinguistics to teach abroad in Mexico (Baja California). Final project will be a #linguisticlandscape. Any ideas and readings welcome! @linguistics

Came across this amazing #trilingual street art near Haifa Port; "Fingaz Railways" apparently harks back to the days of the Hejaz Railway. For more about this piece and its creators, the Broken Fingaz Crew and calligraphy artist Ahmad Zoabi, see: https://nocamels.com/2019/09/railways-broken-fingaz-haifa-hejaz/

@yEvb0 Here's a pic I took in 2019 of the window a food court near my office (closed in 2020) that had a station called "Wok 74" with Hangul costume #LinguisticLandscape
@yEvb0 Oh, there is a word! I've heard it from the #LinguisticLandscape people. I can try @michaelchesnut2@twitter...
Haven't posted the RASHBA"G sign in a while... enjoy seeing what happens when signmakers try to apply conventions from one language (#Hebrew) to another (English)

This nice #bilingual concert poster is unusual in that the #Hebrew title "Alḥub" is a transliteration of the #Arabic; the concert offers a selection of love songs in Arabic
