A hand is holding a tan-colored travel mug. The logo on the mug says LL16 and has a stylized image of the nearby decommissioned coalmine's Bauhaus-style winding tower. In the near background are twinkling lights and a decorated evergreen tree. In the farther background is the blurry outline of small outdoor shops and a carousel. The sky is dark. It is night time.
A bit of mid-week fun:
Show us where your #LL16 travel cups have been! Here's one of ours at the Winter Market in Essen, keeping a hot apple cider warm for the evening 🍎♨️❄️
Graffiti stickers on a pole.
Before I sign off for a little while, a little view of my #Linguisticlandscape as I waited for a tram (yes, heading to work on my week off for more post #LL16 cleanup 😂)
Middle sticker (überklebt) basically says ‘stickered over, MFer’ - a direct nod to the discursive nature of sticker graffiti.

Bits of color along a walk from Essen to neighboring Mülheim, stretching my legs after 3 days of conferencing at the wonderful #LL16.
Go bicycle highways/Radschnellweg!!
A massive thank you to the #LL16 team for such a wonderful conference. Today’s outing to the Zollverein - the former coal mine turned museum and park - could not have been more appropriate and excellent fun! Evelyn, that Applied Swinguistics group and conference needs setting up now!

Elevated pipes swirl through the park framing an industrial building in the background under a perfect summer sky.

#LL16 programming chair Isabelle Buchstaller shares the humorous story of her first online contact with tattoo artist Daniela Vasconcellos da Silva, leading to a rich dialogue and exchange on Art & Transformation at this year's workshop
Artists Daniela Vasconcellos da Silva (left), Hülya Özkan (second from left), and Gregor Sailer (right), as well as the cultural officer from the city of Essen (second from right--sorry, name unknown) at the Linguistic Landscape workshop at University of Essen, Friday, September 5, 2025
A fabulous innovation at #LL16: Engaging with the work of artists Daniela Vasconcellos da Silva, Hülya Özkan, and Gregor Sailer and a roundtable discussion on Art and Transformation, "dedicated to an exploration of how various forms of art inform, capture and influence urban transformations"
Making the city your own? Stickers with the local variety of German in Essen. Very fitting in the context of #Ll16
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
Close up of a large "mural" assembled from waste. Abstract blue, green, yellows and just a bit of black and orange. Layered with light shining through.
Another close up. These multicolored plastic were assembled with a heat gun. You can see the traces of bubbling and distortion.
Close up of tiny bits of "waste" plastic from her other projects lacquered into a kind of terrazzo effect.
Larger view of the broken plastirrazzo pot reassembled. A larger piece hangs in the background and two conference participants discuss the works.
On the third day of #LL16 in #Essen we begin with #art. Some images of work by Hülya Özkan.
A striking difference is that climate sceptics don’t seem to respond to climate activist stickers but in NYC the two sides ‘stick’ over it alongside one another - a debate of sorts.
Now the right have targeted the climate as ‘woke’, will this change? #LL16
2 gr8 talks on stickers a@ #LL16 yesterday: Mellie Gonçalves on their use in the climate context both as protest and adverts, the QR code now a bridge to the online ‘bigger’ story. Ditto with Elana Shohamy on the sticker ‘war’ in NYC on the Gaza crisis.

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
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
We’re thrilled to have been nominated but we’re all the ##LinguisticLandscape workshop #LL16 in Essen so we’ll join by Zoom to see how our Handbook fares in the BAAL Book Prize
Bravo @loujiajackie.bsky.social for such an inspiring keynote "On Crisis and Creativity" at #LL16!

[Repost bc I broke the thread]
Hearing such an introspective braiding of personal, artistic, and academic answered her question "Why creativity?" which rarely gets addressed in analytical conferences. #LL16
Very happy to be following the #LinguisticLandscape conference here on Bluesky via the hashtag #LL16! Quite neat to see several attendees skeeting about the conference! Conference tweeting really was a highlight of Old Twitter for me, so great to see something like this again!
A wonderful keynote from Jackie Jia Lou reminding us - and even better modelling for us - that bringing our creativity (Poesie) to our research (Theoria) is not a paradigm shift, but a paradigm extension. #LL16

At #LL16, you can hear a pin drop as Jackie Lou talks us through the crisis and creativity of COVID-19 in a beautiful and deeply personal reflection, bringing us back to discourse in place as a bedrock of #linguisticlandscape research

Combining my twin passions of football and semiotics, a great article from Jonathan Liew about the use of the English Cross of St George flag, sport and politics. And bang on topic at this conference on Linguistic Landscapes!. #LL16 #JonathanLiew
Channeling my inner Munch last night ahead of giving a talk at #LL16 this morning! God knows what I’d be like if this wasn’t the most friendly gathering!
I almost always love conferences anyway, but DANG this one has already been SO FUN!!!! #LL16
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!
