语言景观的时间维度——基于中国地方博物馆的田野调查

The Time Dimension of Linguistic Landscape:A Field Survey Based on Local Museums in China

语言景观能够呈现不同地区的社会文化语境,但现有研究尚未在系统符号分析中纳入时间维度。本研究通过对中国地方博物馆进行田野调查,并基于Scollon&Scollon(2003)提出的地理符号学框架对收集到的数据进行分析,发现语言景观能够通过文字字形、字体、载体、内容等符号呈现社会变迁,且语言时间符号在构建语言景观符号聚合的过程中可与其他系统符号产生互动作用。鉴于此,本研究提出语言景观研究的时间维度,以期为该领域学者提供借鉴。

Linguistic landscapes are able to present the socio⁃cultural contexts of different regions,but current studies failed to incorporate the time dimension in systematic semiotic analysis.Based on the geosemiotic framework proposed by Scollon&Scollon(2003),this study analyzed data collected through a field survey of a local museum in China.It was found that linguistic landscapes can present social changes through symbols such as text glyphs,fonts,carriers,and content.Linguistic symbols in time dimension can interact with other systemic symbols in the process of constructing linguistic landscape symbol aggregation.In addition,linguistic symbols in time dimension can interact with other system symbols in the aggregation process.In view of this,this study proposes a time dimension in studying linguistic landscapes,which can be referred to by scholars in this field.
