In contrast to the expectations of many researchers of modernity, ethnicity has become, today more than ever, a major aspect of the social reality. This article considers, defines, and distinguishes, in present-day terms, the notions of ethnic identity, identification, and identifying. It further delves into the sway of ethnicity in contemporary transformational processes as a factor in the multiculturalization of societies and diasporas.

“…A number of studies have analysed the language of domains (Ben-Rafael & Ben-Rafael, 2010), the functionality and authority of the vernacular on hand-produced signage (Dray, 2010), and the notion that English is a 'neutral linguistic resource' that 'allows maintaining communication over the head of manifestations of animosity' (Ben-Rafael et al, 2006:25). Kotze and Du Plessis (2010:72-73) note that the linguistic landscape reflects the sociolinguistics of a community (the use of specific languages), as well as the dynamics between language and users (how and why those languages are used).…”

For example, comparing typical signs defined as 'fixed, permanent, uniformly designed, and placed in conspicuous locations in urban spaces' with peripheral signs defined as 'often highly mobile, transitory, temporary, hand-written, and multimodal' allowed Yao et al (2022: 3) to shed light on the linguistic preferences of Uyghur speakers and the tensions that arise with China's top-down language policies.…”

Assessing the place of minoritized languages in postcolonial contexts using the Linguistic Landscape

Linguistic Landscape research has demonstrated that detailed analysis of written signage provides, often simultaneously, important insights into various aspects of the sociolinguistic dynamics of a context, particularly those involving minoritized languages. Comparatively little of that research has, however, focused on postcolonial contexts in which people make little use of literacy and in which locally widely used minoritized languages co-exist with an officially dominant ex-colonial language. This paper explores written signage involving minoritized languages in the town of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni (French Guiana) and how it is shaped by local practices and social change. The paper argues that knowledge of the ethnographic context such as local practices of place belongingness, the place of writing, and processes of social change is indispensable when analyzing the Linguistic Landscape. When viewed from a holistic perspective, the Linguistic Landscape provides insights into local identities and the processes promoting them.
