Why is it important?
The research deals with a rural area, which is a type of territory little analyzed by linguistic landscape studies. It also investigates the influence of language policies on the configuration of this landscape and the importance of other non-linguistic elements, such as iconography, in defining this border situation between two very different languages.
Perspectives
I hope that this work will help to broaden the perspectives of language landscape studies, its areas of interest and its relationship to other disciplines, such as language policy
