This article traces how new linguistic practices emerge alongside the development of tourism in Hawai‘i and Japan. We trace and describe two networks of tourism to illustrate how signs, speech, and embodied communication materialize in actor networks. We frame these new spatial repertoires as examples of language learning and language change that occurs as an effect of human mobility intersecting with material affordances in new environments. We compare the relatively new emergence of such spatial repertoires in Izumisano, a residential neighborhood in Osaka, to the more established repertoires that have formed in Kailua, a residential beach town on O’ahu in Hawai‘i. In Izumisano, we focus on the emergence of Chinese alongside English, and in Kailua, we examine the recent emergence of the Japanese language. In both contexts, we identify how language first emerges in written form on signs in relation to other actants such as pancakes, airports, and train stations. This signage later becomes part of the embodied actions by service providers who acquire multimodal verbal repertoires through their interactions with tourists.

旅游网络中语言的实体化

本文追溯了夏威夷和日本旅游业如何发展新的语言实践。我们跟踪并描述了两个旅游网络，以说明符号，语音和具体化的交流如何在参与者网络中实现。我们将这些新的空间库构架为语言学习和语言变化的示例，这些变化是由于人类流动性与新环境中的物质供给相交而产生的。我们将这种空间库相对较新的出现在大阪一个居民区泉佐野与在夏威夷瓦胡岛一个居民海滩小镇凯鲁瓦形成的更成熟的库进行比较。在泉佐野，我们专注于中文和英语的共同出现，而在凯鲁瓦，我们研究日语的最新出现。在这两种情况下，我们确定语言如何首先以书面形式出现在与其他参与者（例如煎饼，机场和火车站）有关的标志上。此标牌后来成为服务提供商所体现的行动的一部分，这些提供商通过与游客的互动获得多式联结的语言曲目。
