Abstract

In this paper I describe how we identified the language symbols used on street and road signs in Ukraine’s westernmost town, Berehove. In linguistic landscape studies, multiethnicity is a significant aspect indeed. Insofar as numerous ethnic groups live in Berehove side by side, it seems plausible to analyze the linguistic landscape of this settlement. In this study, two analyses (involving linguistic landscape items collected in 2013 and 2017) are used to elucidate this settlement’s linguistic landscape. I demonstrate the linguistic landscape collections using two methods of analysis (quantitative and qualitative), studied in a town characterized by its multilingual history. I also analyze ethnolinguistic vitality research in bilingual settings of various time lines. Furthermore, I introduce inscriptions and symbols collected at a street fair in relation to their language and its richness.

乌克兰西部小镇的语言景观

在本文中，我描述了我们如何识别乌克兰最西部城镇别列霍夫的街道和道路标志上使用的语言符号。在语言景观研究中，多民族确实是一个重要的方面。鉴于众多的民族聚居在贝列霍夫，分析这个聚居地的语言景观似乎是合理的。本研究采用两项分析(涉及2013年和2017年收集的语言景观项目)来阐明该聚落的语言景观。我用两种分析方法(定量和定性)展示了语言景观集合，研究了一个以多语言历史为特征的城镇。我还分析了不同时间线双语环境下的民族语言活力研究。此外，我还介绍了在街头集市上收集的铭文和符号，以及它们的语言和丰富程度。
