A Comparative Study On The Linguistic Landscape Of Urban Village In The Process Of New-type Urbanization

Linguistic landscape is a dynamic language use phenomenon in public space.As an important part of urban language image in the urbanization process,the linguistic landscape of the village in the city is an significant manifestation of the game between globalization and localization.This article is based on the investigation of linguistic landscape in three urban villages at different development stages: Lijiao village,Huadi village and Liede village,which helps to understand the change of language use in the process of urbanization,so as to grasp the informative function and symbolic function behind the linguistic landscape.Based on the three-dimensional space model of physical space,living space and concept space,and combined with the sociolinguistics of globalization theory,the study explores the characteristics of linguistic landscape practice,residents’ ideology,and language policy in the process of transformation of the urban village.Through the combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches,the study draws the following conclusions: in physical space,the differences in the number and content of the three types of language landscapes are closely related to the local economy;in terms of code comparison,Chinese characters have always dominated the urban village;the linguistic landscape has become increasingly "superdiversity",and multilingual code signs have gradually become more prominent with the degree of urbanization.In the comparison of the three places,the language landscape reflects two levels of trends: one is the reproduction and continuation of local historical symbols in the time dimension,and the other is the ordered aggregation of internal functions and the assimilation of the external landscape in the spatial dimension.In living space,traditional homogeneous speech communities tend to be loose and diverse,and residents’ perceptions and identification of language landscapes are affected by globalization,showing a decline in localized identification.In the conceptual space,explicit language policy and implicit language policy have an impact on the language landscape to varying degrees.The linguistic landscape of the urban villages at different development stages in the three places proves that the three-dimensional models of physical space,living space and concept space interact and are closely related.
