摘　　要：语言景观是社会语言学研究的一个新领域,通过研究公共空间的语言标志上呈现的语言现象揭示背后的权力关系、身份认同和社会空间塑造等问题。本文对国外语言景观研究文献进行了全面系统的搜集和整理,从研究历程和研究趋势两个方面开展了详细分析。国外语言景观研究自20世纪70年代发端,至1997年为萌芽阶段,1997—2007年为理论探索阶段,2008年之后快速发展。该领域研究趋势主要表现为:语言标志的边界不断扩大、公共空间范围不断拓展、理论解释日益多学科化、研究方法趋向多样化。文章最后指出现有研究不足之处。Linguistic landscape, as an emerging field in sociolinguistic studies, refers to the linguistic objects visible in public space, which are viewed as a lens to the power relationship and identity of the languages and speech communities in a specific region. Positioned as an overview of the recent development of international linguistic landscape studies, this article first reviews the history of linguistic land- scape inquiry, then analyzes the latest research trend, and concludes with a discussion of the implications for relevant research in China. The development of linguistic landscape studies can be divided into three historical periods. The period from the 1970s to 1997 was the infancy stage of linguistic landscape exploration. From 1997 to 2007, it came to a theoretical exploration stage, followed by a taking-off period since 2008. The research trend in this field can be generalized as a broader scope of siguage, a continuous expansion of research areas, increasingly multidisciplinary theorization, and more diversified approaches to linguistic representations in public space. Finally, the article reveals the weakness of linguistic landscape research in China, and suggests possible directions for further work.
