Abstract:
In Linguistic Landscaping and the Pacific Region, Diane Elizabeth Johnson explores the use of language in public spaces in four areas of the Pacific in which colonization has played a major role: Hawai'i, Aotearoa/ New Zealand, New Caledonia, and Tahiti. She does so in a way that is both scholarly and accessible.
