Abstract

The vast majority of work on language and landscape in Geography focuses on the linguistic landscape, which studies the presence or absence of certain languages or dialects on the landscape. This paper goes beyond linguistic landscape to explore language as representation of landscape imaginary. Landscape acts as a powerful symbol, and can work to strengthen territorial identities, solidifying nations as separate entities, intimately connected to the land that they inhabit. This is true of the nation of Galicia, an historic community in the northwest of Spain, where the national landscape and language have come to be inextricably linked in the Galician imagination. In conducting interviews with Galician educators about the nature of their language and its meaning to them personally, an unprovoked link emerged between the language and the landscape, painting the two as essential foundations of Galician identity. Language and landscape are seen as linked foundational symbols in a display of difference between Galicia and Spain. This paper uses themes that emerged from these interviews to elaborate how the Galician language can be seen as a representation of a landscape imaginary.

西班牙加利西亚的身份、语言和景观

地理学中绝大多数关于语言和景观的工作都集中在语言景观上，研究景观上某些语言或方言的存在或缺失。本文超越语言景观，探索语言作为景观想象的表征。景观是一种强有力的象征，可以加强领土认同，将国家固化为独立的实体，与他们所居住的土地紧密相连。加利西亚就是这样，它是西班牙西北部的一个历史悠久的社区，在加利西亚人的想象中，这里的民族景观和语言已经密不可分地联系在一起。在采访加利西亚的教育工作者，了解他们语言的本质及其对他们个人的意义时，语言和风景之间出现了一种无缘无故的联系，将两者描绘为加利西亚身份的重要基础。在加利西亚和西班牙之间的差异中，语言和景观被视为相互联系的基本符号。本文使用从这些访谈中出现的主题来阐述加利西亚语言如何被视为景观想象的代表。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
