#IDSUnterwegs Mitarbeitende Heiko Marten, Katharina Dück, Christine Möhrs, Rahaf Farag und Janin Rössel auf dem Workshop @ll16-ude.bsky.social. Unter dem Motto „Spaces of Collapse and Transformation“ diskutierten Forschende aus aller Welt, wie Sprache in öffentlichen Räumen sichtbar wird.

Since the time I was a PhD student, I've always found the annual #LinguisticLandscape workshop to be a welcoming, almost familial space. Where else can you enjoy a mother-son talk, like today's "Collapse and transformation of Jefferson Street in Nashville Tennessee" by Becky and Nick Garvin? ❤️ #LL16

On the third day of #LL16 in #Essen we begin with #art. Some images of work by Hülya Özkan.

Last day of Linguistic Landscape 16 in Essen.A great conference so far and we’re excited to hear what today‘s talks have in store for us.Join the panel on #educationscapes which I will be chairing this afternoon! #LL16 #linguisticlandscapes #educationscapes #schoolscapes

Making the city your own? Stickers with the local variety of German in Essen. Very fitting in the context of #Ll16

We couldn't agree more. Thank you, Jackie (from our Senior Acquisitions Editor Natalie in the audience)! And thank you to the organizers of #LL16 for a truly inspiring conference. @ll16-ude.bsky.social

@ll16-ude.bsky.social Auf in den zweiten Teil unseres Panels...

Jackie Jia Lou reminds us of the transformative crisis we have ALL been through, albeit with disparate vulnerabilities and outcomes, in her moving plenary, "On crisis and creativity: Remaking linguistic landscape in turbulent times" #LL16 #LinguisticLandscape

Thank you to everyone who made today a truly fun start to #LL16. Now that the nerves have worn off and the vibes have been firmly established, we just can’t wait for tomorrow! Bring on the research, the questions, the “ah-HAH” moments, and the new connections. Bis dann!

In a chaotic world and 2 weeks into the new semester at home, it's a true pleasure to be at the 16th #LinguisticLandscape workshop with old friends and new, and such a warm welcome from #LL16 hosts at @unidue.bsky.social in Essen

Landscapes of Essen, Wednesday morning... looking forward to seeing more linguistic ones later today at @ll16-ude.bsky.social

I can't be at @ll16-ude.bsky.social in person today, but my co-author @janapithan.bsky.social will present our work on posthuman linguistic landscapes tonight. If you are interested in voices in the linguistic landscape and the agency of trash cans, come and see Jana at our poster!

Kind reminder to please remember to bring your own equipment if you're presenting at #ll16! Our conference rooms do not have computer systems and, like many universities in Germany, the University of Duisburg-Essen does not provide conference attendees with laptops.

The booklet is out, the emails are sent, and #LL16 is getting real! Have a look here: www.ll16-ude.de/program/#:~:...

Important reminder! #LL16 takes place at the University of Duisburg-Essen's *ESSEN CAMPUS* (in the city of Essen) (not Duisburg) Please please please carefully check your reservations and directions!

Pssst, we made an interactive map of #LL16 conference activity locations, hotel recommendations, and places we like to eat and socialize. Can you tell we're ready to show off our city?? The menu on the lefthand side will let you toggle all our highlights. Enjoy! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e...

1/5 Hömma! Schön datte da bis! Ruhrdeutsch is the regional dialect spoken by the locals in the Ruhr Area (sometimes also referred to as the "Ruhrpott"), where #LL16 will be hosted.

The semi-final (we're optimistic, but also realistic) version of the #LL16 program is now available! You might also notice some more updates to our website, particularly dedicated to our Art and Transformation session on the final conference day. Enjoy! www.ll16-ude.de/program/

We are aware of participants receiving phishing emails from a company calling itself variably "Global Travel Team", "Operations Global", or "Travel Team". #LL16 has not provided participants' email addresses to any third party, nor published them online. Please, do not respond to these messages!

✅ Room planning ✅ Catering budget ✅ Student-staff hires ✅ Volunteer scheduling ✅ Seating charts (just kidding) Now that we have a good idea of the numbers, we can announce that we've re-opened registration for the general public. Please join us for #LL16 ! www.ll16-ude.de/registration/

Allow us to re-introduce ourselves... For the past couple of months, we have been working with the RealJobs Scheme in the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication at the University of Reading on a conference 're-brand' for our online presence. #LL16

The draft agenda is now available! Please enjoy! www.ll16-ude.de/program/?kub...

Time is running out to register for #LL16! The portal closes tomorrow evening! (but of course, get in touch if something is wrong). And watch this space for some exciting updates on Monday! We can't WAIT to start sharing some of the fun things in store for you in September.

👀 Did you know? ONLY TEN DAYS LEFT TO REGISTER for #LL16 That's right, only 🔟 (ten) more days!! Don't forget! www.conftool.com/ll16-ude/

Follow Friday! We recently spotted this excellent volume by #LL16 plenarist Jackie Jia Lou @loujiajackie.bsky.social in our university's collection. With only ~150 more sleeps until #LL16, it's a great time to brush up on memorable LL studies. What's your go-to favorite?

How about some meta-linguistic commentary from the LL of Berlin to brighten up your day? #LL16

REMINDER! Early Bird registration for #LL16 ends today! Register here: www.conftool.com/ll16-ude/ind...

American iconography in the German LL is becoming something of a special interest of mine, and this one is just stellar

Alt text is my favorite writing genre #LL16

Not sure what to expect from the LL of Essen, Germany? How's this for a tasty teaser? (btw, our conference dinner menu is fully vegan, and allergen-friendly!) #LL16

Fun Fact Friday! What do /ae/, Essen, and ash (trees) have in common? They're cognates! In German, Essen/essen can mean food/to eat, but the name of our city probably comes from a word related to ash trees. Similarly, the name of the /ae/ symbol comes from an Anglo-Frisian term for ash trees!

🔆 BIG NEWS 🔆 Early Bird registration for #LL16 has been extended until March 10th! More info here: www.ll16-ude.de/registration/

By the way, our website is back online! Check us out here: www.ll16-ude.de

Looking forward to #LL16 where I’ll be talking about de/re-landscaping Paris for the 2024 Olympics (with my bsky-less colleague Peiru Bai).

I'm very pleased to be presenting the first iteration of my Habil data at #LL16 in Essen in September! Come have a chat with me about how used car dealerships in the Kaiserslautern Military Community advertise to their target (American) clientele - spoiler: there are lots of eagles involved

Yippieh, we'll also be at #LL16 with a panel on schoolscapes/eduscapes from a diachronic perspective - spoiler: signs of protest involved
