  1. It is nice to be excited about a book I have to read for work.

    This one is about #LinguisticLandscapes in the city of #Turku in Finland.

  2. During the GDR era, the #Berlin #district of #Kreuzberg developed into a hotspot for the #party and #art #scene: especially its area #SO36 that was surrounded by three border zones with the #GDR, forming a peninsula. A diverse #culturallife arose, persisting to this day. The musical "#Linie1" refers to the #UBahn line through SO36.

  6. Wunderschöne #Sudetenwege führen hinauf zur Kleinen und zur Großen Horke und das versunkene Sorbisch des Berglandes ist durch den Schleier kurz noch einmal greifbar. #linguisticlandscapes #Serbja

  7. Wow! 🥳🎊 I received a copy of a book we wrote a chapter for with @tuomo and Hanna-Mari Pienimäki.

    It's one thing to see one's own work published on a website, but another feeling when you can hold it in your hand.

    If you're interested in #multilingualism #sociolinguistics #UrbanStudies and #LinguisticLandscapes check out this book. Relevant also for #UrbanGeography #HumanGeography #GIScience and #multimodality 🤓

    The #OpenAccess book is available here: oa.finlit.fi/site/books/e/10.2

  8. What a shame my interaction with a (very kind and helpful) DB employee at the railway station this morning was not recorded for linguistic analysis: I used Sie and she used Du. Neither of us budged, but in the end we still converged by avoiding personal pronouns together! 😇 #LinguisticLandscapes

  10. “Like all borders, multipoints are variously the products of diplomats, conquerors, surveyors, committees, and natural features. These boundaries also divide, connect, sequester, demarcate, attract, and deter. But to me, multipoints will always be more magnetic than their binary counterparts, curious and complicated anomalies compared to those "ordinary" imaginary lines. (ISG).“ open.substack.com/pub/whyisthi #Multipoints #Borders #LinguisticLandscapes

  11. When this new H Mart (Han Ah Reum) opens it'll be the biggest Korean market I've been to! (I haven't had a chance to visit Korea or Japan) #LinguisticLandscapes #ItsInQueens
