Diana Stolac Jim Hlavač Diana Stolac • Jim Hlavač A LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF RIJEKA Every community has the habit of documenting itself, either at var- ious points in time or in relation to geographical areas. Communi- ties also seek to be documented in ways that refect how we record things across the world in general. The linguistic landscape frame- work provides a formal and structured approach to the documenta- tion of communities. Foregrounded by a diachronic and synchronic overview of the linguistic landscape of Rijeka and its surrounding areas, this book goes beyond providing a snapshot of a city’s local features and employs a contemporary methodological approach in its description and discussion of a substantial corpus of visual and textual data. With its comprehensive appraisal of aspects relevant to linguistic landscape research, this book is comparable to leading monographs and edited volumes that have been published in this feld in recent years. Prof. Tanja Gradečak (University of Osijek) Rijeka is a city with a rich multicultural and multilingual heritage. Latin, Hungarian, and French have, at times, been the city’s offcial languages as well as Italian. All these languages have all co-existed alongside Croatian and local vernaculars of Croatian such as Caka- vica with English being the most recent and conspicuous addition. Prefaced by an overview of the languages that have been part of Rijeka’s identity over time, this book provides a thorough and viv- id description of the city’s contemporary linguistic identity. As the frst-ever monograph on Rijeka’s linguistic landscape, this book of- fers a detailed description of differences and similarities in the use, function and contextual setting of various linguistic codes recorded across the city and the surrounding Primorje-Gorski Kotar county. It is a welcome addition to the research literature on Croatian sociolin- guistics and an excellent example of the way scientifc research can be made accessible to a broad audience. Assoc.
