Laura Callahan publishes an article on Linguistic Landscapes in California
The peer-reviewed article entitled 鈥淔rom Downtown to the Eastside: Languages-other-than-English in a commercial linguistic landscape in California鈥 was published in IJLASSO, the International Journal of the Linguistic Association of the Southwest. Laura collected and analyzed data from business signage on San Jos茅's iconic Santa Clara Street to investigate what the city鈥檚 linguistic diversity contributes to this historic avenue. This work will serve as a baseline for future research on what patterns may emerge after the construction of the Google campus planned for the western downtown Diridon Station area, as well as on the evolution of businesses rooted in the eastern neighborhoods of Santa Clara Street.
Laura also recently published a review on the professional listserve LinguistList, of the book . Zsuzsanna Ittz茅s Abrams. 2020. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
