言語景観と言語政策に関する考察 : 中国と日本を例として

要旨

Language policy is one of the tools used by governments or organizations to manage the linguistic activities of human society. Linguistic landscapes are the visual language that appears in public spaces, such as billboards. Therefore, linguistic landscapes are also managed by language policy. In this paper, the relationship between language policy and linguistic landscapes is discussed. It was found that China's language policy has detailed regulations for the use of foreign languages that appear in public spaces. In Japan, the national language is not clearly defined at the legal level. In addition, the guidelines for the use of foreign languages in public spaces are only proposed by the Japan Tourism Agency. And, from the actual survey, although both China and Japan have relevant regulations or guidelines, there are many examples of the reality that the linguistic landscapes are not consistent with the language policy.
