Throughout the years, linguistic landscape research has emerged as a formidable approach in examining the role of public signs in social life in different communities. From a wider perspective, the study of public signs shows the influence of multilingualism on the social life of communities as they are tied to cultural, sociopolitical and even economic ideologies. However, the role of these signs that reflect the sentiments of members of a community after a natural disaster remains understudied. In 2013, Typhoon Yolanda (international name “Haiyan”) struck the Philippines, resulting in numerous deaths and extensive property damage. This paper examines the competing voices of representation through public signs produced by community members affected by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. The study initially foregrounds the investigation by situating the current beliefs on multilingualism and the apparent need to explore its role in addressing issues brought about by natural calamities. It then proceeds with examining relevant investigations on linguistic landscapes that may be helpful in the present investigation. Through an analysis of photographs of public signs produced after the tragedy, there appears to be two IJAPS, Vol. 15, No. 1, 33–57, 2019 Linguistic Landscape Analysis of Signs 34 distinct producers of linguistic landscapes: the locals and stakeholders (businesses and government). The signs from these groups each have different characteristics in terms of materials used, placement/location, and communicative function.

海盐台风过后公共标志的语言景观分析

多年来，语言景观研究已经成为检查公共标志在不同社区的社会生活中的作用的一种强大方法。从更广泛的角度来看，对公共标志的研究表明，由于多种语言与文化，社会政治甚至经济意识形态联系在一起，因此对社区的社会生活产生了影响。但是，这些标志反映自然灾害后社区成员情绪的作用仍未得到充分研究。2013年，台风Yolanda（国际名称为“ Haiyan”）袭击了菲律宾，造成无数人死亡和广泛的财产损失。本文研究了2013年受台风海燕影响的社区成员通过公共标志产生的相互竞争的声音。该研究最初通过将当前对多种语言的观念置于前提之下，并且显然有必要探索其在解决自然灾害带来的问题中的作用，从而为这一研究提供前景。然后，它继续研究有关语言环境的相关研究，这可能对当前的研究有所帮助。通过对悲剧发生后产生的公共标志照片的分析，似乎有两个IJAPS，第1卷。15，No. 1，33-57，2019标志的语言景观分析34个不同的语言景观生产者：当地人和利益相关者（企业和政府）。这些组的标志在使用的材料，放置/位置和交流功能方面都有不同的特征。
