‘Latgalian is not a language’: linguistic landscapes in Eastern Latvia and how they reflect centralist attitudes
- This chapter presents the role of the regional language of Latgalian in the linguistic landscape (LL) of the region of Latgale in Eastern Latvia. The example shows how LL as a method can contribute to the understanding of the functions that a regional or minority language is assigned to in the ethnolinguistic composition of a region and the underlying language ideology. In the case of Latgalian this means that centralist attitudes to the language are clearly reflected.
