I attended
the 8th Linguistic Landscapes International Workshop from 27 to 29 April
2016 at the University of Liverpool. The workshop was organized around the
keywords regeneration, revitalisation and
re-territorialisation. The event
included more than forty presentations so I decided not to report on all of
them. Rather I focus on issues that seem to be the most relevant to my own
research: agency in the linguistic landscape and methodological developments in
linguistic landscape studies. In brief, I am interested in what, who and how
contributes to the creation and interpretation of linguistic landscapes in
various societal settings, including research encounters and academic
discussions.
