Una città: uno spazio linguistico e traduttivo. Osservare Trieste

Abstract

Language and Translation as they appear in public life lie at the center of the investigation. On the one hand, a new branch, Linguistic Landscapes, was born within Sociolinguistics, and on the other The City as Translation Zone within Translation Studies. The current paper aims to investigate the actual Linguistic Landscape of Trieste and Trieste as a city of translation. It wishes to show that languages and translations are interconnected in order to understand the city as a whole through the lens of languages.
