Языковой ландшафт Закарпатской области как части Украины: понятие, проблемы и новые подходы
The Linguistic Landscape of the Transcarpathian Region as Part of Ukraine: Concept, Problems and New Approaches

Summary/Abstract: Transcarpathia (Zakarpattia) is one of the most interesting regions of Ukraine. It was part of at least six different states only in the twentieth century, and thus language priorities were subject to frequent changes. As a result, there are inscriptions in Ukrainian, Russian, Hungarian, English, Romanian, Czech and many other languages there today. This makes the linguistic landscape of Transcarpathia worth analysing. The concept of “linguistic landscape” is no longer new for Ukraine and for Transcarpathia in particular, which allows us to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of previous works on the topic. The article is illustrated with photographs taken by the author in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine.
