T1  - Linguistic landscape under strict state language policy: reversing the Soviet legacy in a regional centre in latvia
T2  - Linguistic landscape in the city
N2  - This chapter will present results of a linguistic landscape (LL) project in the  regional centre of Rēzekne in the region of  Latgale in Eastern Latvia. Latvia was de facto a part of the Soviet Union until 1991, and this has given it a highly multilingual society. In the essentially post-colonial situation since 1991, strict language policies have been in place, which aim to reverse the language shift from Russian, the dominant language of Soviet times, back to Latvian. Thus, the main  interests of the research were how the complex pattern of multilingualism in Latvia is reflected in the LL; how people relate to current language legislation; and what motivations, attitudes and emotions inform their behaviour.
