The concept of the linguistic landscape (henceforth LL) includes all linguistic objects that characterise public environments, including but not limited to warning signs, instructions, public road signs, advertising billboards and posters, street names, graffiti, and notices on government and nongovernment buildings (Landry & Bourhis, 1997: 25). There is no doubt that the LL is a very significant domain for the examination of the cultural, socio-political, and economic changes that occur in a speech community (Backhaus, 2007; Gorter, 2017; Jaworski & Thurlow, 2010; Pakarinen & Björklund, 2017). The use of the LL approach to analyse how English is constructed and negotiated in the Jordanian context can provide new and important insights and evidence into the wide spread of English in a little-explored area, and can contribute to our understanding of the use of English as a global language.

约旦北部城市语言景观中的英语

语言景观（以下简称 LL）的概念包括表征公共环境的所有语言对象，包括但不限于警告标志、说明、公共道路标志、广告牌和海报、街道名称、涂鸦以及政府和非政府建筑上的通知（兰德里和布尔里斯，1997：25）。毫无疑问，LL 是一个非常重要的领域，用于研究语言社区中发生的文化、社会政治和经济变化（Backhaus, 2007; Gorter, 2017; Jaworski & Thurlow, 2010; Pakarinen & Björklund , 2017)。使用 LL 方法来分析英语在约旦语境中是如何构建和协商的，可以为英语在一个鲜为人知的领域的广泛传播提供新的重要见解和证据，
