El paisaje lingüístico español: variación y cambio del aula a la calle

Linguistic landscape (LLS) studies as an educational tool are currently a strong and fruitful line of study in terms of linguistic diversity research and its didactic application. Taking into account all the advances in this line of research and based on previous bibliography, in this paper we present a study on how PL samples have been used to materialize different theoretical contents related to the history of Spanish, the historical dialects of the Peninsula, the varieties of current Spanish both in the Peninsula and in the Americas, and many other contents related to the complexity and plurality of Spanish language and its teaching and learning in classrooms at different educational levels. In this sense, showing the linguistic complexity of our streets through photographic samples of PL helps students to ground various theoretical questions and prepares them to participate directly and critically in the variational analysis of the verbal signs that make up their immediate reality.
