It displays an impact of Chinese culture intermixing with the various other cultures. The Chinatowns in different locations give us a good idea of what Chinese culture looks like in many cities. -Anthony Wong]]> 2018-03-27 19:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/246666831 ziiphyngyung https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247132745 The video is basically talking about those signs in Sydney Chinatown, what's on the sign and why those Chinese and English words are both on the sign; what's the utility of those signs. Personally, i think the first thing first is the mystery that those exotic word could impress people. It's positively to get bored if you spend your time in the same culture with people speaking the same language. So the exotic thing it self don't have to be interesting or charming, the existent of exotic thing is already attractive enough for some people. I mean that's the kind of feeling you get when you watch&learn something new, the excitement they give you is very powerful, so people don't have to know what's on the sign, they just have to know what is this place, and that's why all Chinese restaurants have both Chinese and English on their signs, get your curious up first, and explain what are this. -Tommy]]> 2018-03-29 03:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247132745 yicai1996 https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247139779 Linguistic landscape is the visibility and application of linguistic signs with language text in public space as a discourse structure. The linguistic signs include streets signs, advertising boards, street names, shop signs and other language using in public. In certain areas it shows the higher social status of certain ethnic groups with mainly using of their languages and also, more importantly, shows the interaction in between different cultures of multiple languages using. In the video we can tell the Chinatown in Sydney includes a variety of different cultural language using, such as English, Korean, Australian and Japanese, but still Chinese is the main language apprearing in Chinatown. Most of the shop signs, names and advertisings provides English text to attract people for more exploring. Interestingly besides the bilingual language using, some of the shop signs are independently designed with only English, Chinese or Korean to express their exotic charms, which seem more unique and attractive. -Yuna]]> 2018-03-29 04:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247139779 https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247250515 The video is exploring how different restaurants are able to attract both locals and internationals. Through the use of visuals, the restaurants are able to target a group of individuals that they want. Some wanted international students, and others wanter locals who could learn more about their culture. What their exploring is significant because by the use of visuals and the menus they are able to target their customers. The area that this could become a problem is with tourist and the difference in language and dialect. Overall, the idea of linguistic landscape is that through visuals one is able to describe and understand something from their own point of view even if there is a language barrier. - Breeanna Schmidt   ]]> 2018-03-29 13:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247250515 justin_a_kocher https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247282289 The video addresses the idea of signage being utilized with English and Chinese text and how that interacts with the culture of the area. What is interesting to me was the idea that they are taking two cultures, and blending with each other by simply adding an English subtext for those we do not speak Chinese, displaying a friendly interaction with the two languages. With that in mind, the multi-language signage aids the public by encouraging them to explore, visit, and delve into a different culture. By blending all of the different languages, and therefore the culture, the space it is contained becomes more user-friendly and interactive.

For instance, a Chinatown in Chicago is going to be different from a Chinatown in Sydney. It uses a linguistic landscape to help frame the context of both the Chinese and English texts by blending the culture of the city and traditional Chinese culture. this helps overcome both language and cultural barriers, helping expose anyone who wants to visit to the Chinese culture -Tom Stolpe]]> 2018-03-29 15:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247284864 https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247302179 1. what surprised me the most about this text was the combination of culture that occurs throughout. I personally never thought about how different ethnic areas in other countries would look or who they would try to appeal to most. I was surprised that that they actually, for the most part, appeal to multiple languages. Because you are in chinatown, i guess i would have expected it just to try and appeal to one audience however i find it very cool it appeals to so many more. 2. something that connects with my previous experience from the video was that in certain areas, depending on the targeted customer they are trying to attract, some places still do only use one language to carter to their ethnic group. I relate to this because these are things that I have never given much thought. when I go to a restaurant, I never give much thought to the people that may struggle because the menu or signs are all in english. I think it is important now to try and appeal to as many people as you can. 3. A question i would like to ask is why in america do we not carter to different cultures as much as other countries? and going along with that because I have heard much debate, why do certain people have such a big problem with incorporating other languages? -Renee]]> 2018-03-29 15:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247302179 https://padlet.com/maria_prikhodko/79u3d7otg96e/wish/247311628 1) Linguistic Language is how street signs and various similar objects are used in order to convey certain messages towards one another. They are exploring restaurants within the city of Italy and how they use specific language to engage people and to lure them towards their surroundings. 2) One might find this area of subject matter interesting since they might be intrigued as to how language is used within the city in order to garner people’s attention. 3) Regarding Chicago, any neighborhood that is home to at least one ethnicity/culture in which one can conduct research with.      -Edwin

While using some cultures will gain success and income, it can also generate stereotypes for the ethnic group. I personally feel that if you're going to use a culture as a source of income, you at least provide some facts and history of the culture itself. If not then that's how problems are created.

While linguistic landscape can be a way to merge and invite cultures to interact with each other, it is also a reflection of that interaction itself. So, in a way, linguistic landscape can be a result of cultural interaction instead of just simply an attempt to attract that. I see this in Chicago, with our Chinatown as an example. While adding English signage successfully lures English speakers into the area, I feel that it is a result of being in a community that linguistically diverse, and that diversity of cultures and cultural mixing is just how societies evolve together. Restaurants being more inclined to attract international crowds may be a result of the fact that in modern day, our communities are diverse, international people and tourists are part of our community, and our linguistic landscape is evolving to accommodate this change.
