Abstract

The study of Linguistic Landscape (LL) is a promising research line in the field of sociolinguistics, often related to migration and globalization studies. Although the signs within the LL are exclusively written, their relationship with orality can be analyzed at different levels. In general, from a semiotic point of view, the LL is an indicator of genuine multilingualism, and points to the local use of spoken languages. At a pragmatic level, the dialogic forms which can be seen in the LL have a clear interactive function, promoting in-group communication. Finally, the signs within the LL can reflect linguistic use, and especially the hybridized forms resulting from language contact. This paper will present the results of a pilot study on the Latin American LL in Milan and will focus on some significant items, testifying to the ethnolinguistic vitality of these groups. From this point of view, LL often demarcates new spaces for language use; at the same time, it reflects an emerging Spanish-Italian bilingualism.
El estudio del Paisaje lingüístico (PL) es una prometedora línea de investigación que se ha desarrollado en el campo de la sociolingüística, a menudo en relación con los estudios sobre las migraciones y la globalización. A pesar de que los signos del PL son, por definición, escritos, se evidencian vínculos con la oralidad en diferentes niveles. Desde un enfoque semiótico amplio el PL puede verse como indicador de multilingüismo, y apunta al uso hablado de la lengua dentro de un territorio determinado. En el plano pragmático, el PL exhibe a menudo formas dialógicas que apelan directamente a la comunidad interesada, con una evidente función interactiva. Por último, los signos del PL pueden reflejar los usos lingüísticos, con especial referencia a las formas híbridas que surgen del contacto entre dos lenguas. Este trabajo presenta los resultados de un estudio piloto sobre lo latino en el PL milanés, centrándose en algunas unidades especialmente significativas, que testifican la vitalidad etnolingüística de estos colectivos inmigrantes. Se verá cómo el PL demarca nuevos espacios para el uso oral de la lengua y refleja, al mismo tiempo, las prácticas bilingües italiano-español de estos inmigrantes.
