Abstract
This chapter surveys the field of linguistic landscape (LL) from its early focus on multilingualism in public spaces. It begins with an overview of the early years of the past decade (2006-2016) and major research findings, activities and publications (annual conferences, edited books, a peer-reviewed journal and publications). It then surveys research findings and activities that have taken place over the past decade according to five (not exhaustive) themes: LL and representations; LL and multimodality; LL in cities, neighbourhoods and entities; LL and contestations in public spaces; and LL and education. The chapter ends with major conclusions, debates, new upcoming topics and prospects for the future.
