The field of linguistic landscape (LL) is concerned with monolingual and bi/-multilingual patterns and practices enacted on ‘public road signs, advertising billboards, street names, place names, commercial shop signs, and public signs on government buildings’ (Landry & Bourhis, 1997: 25). Since the publication of Landry and Bourhis’ (1997) research study, much more attention has been paid towards LL research, especially after the appearance of a Linguistic Landscape special issue of the International Journal of Multilingualism 3(1) (2006) (reproduced as the book Linguistic Landscape: A New Approach to Multilingualism [Gorter, 2006]). There has also been increased discussion of specific locations, such as multilingualism in Tokyo (Backhaus, 2007), English in the neighbourhoods of Johor Bahru City in Malaysia (McKiernan, 2019), and Jawi, an endangered orthography in the Malaysian LL (Coluzzi, 2020).

语言景观 (LL) 领域关注“公共路标、广告牌、街道名称、地名、商业商店标志和政府大楼的公共标志”上的单语和双语/多语模式和实践（Landry &布尔希斯，1997：25）。自 Landry 和 Bourhis (1997) 研究报告发表以来，LL 研究受到了更多的关注，尤其是在International Journal of Multilingualism 3(1) (2006)的 Linguistic Landscape 特刊出现之后（转载为语言景观：多语言的新方法[戈尔特，2006]）。对特定地点的讨论也越来越多，例如东京的多语制 (Backhaus, 2007)、马来西亚新山市社区的英语 (McKiernan, 2019) 以及马来西亚 LL 中濒临灭绝的正字法 Jawi (Coluzzi, 2020 年）。
