Linguistic Landscape studies examine language(s) in public spaces. This study focuses on the interplay of language, space and sociocultural context: Yaoundé’s Linguistic Landscape is examined with respect to its multilingual and multimodal nature. Next to a sociolinguistic framework, a (socio)cognitive analysis is also put centre stage.
Neele Mundt is a lecturer in English linguistics at the University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany. She works in the field of sociolinguistics with a focus on English in central Africa. She spent one year in Yaoundé, where she collected field data for her research project situated at the juncture of (cognitive) sociolinguistics and linguistic landscape studies in Cameroon. Her research interests include multilingualism, (cognitive) sociolinguistics and applied linguistics in general, and with a focus on Africa in particular.
