Abstract

26. 4% of the population of Santa Rosa is speak Spanish as their native language. Therefore the appearance of this minority language in public signage is very important, both for better understanding and for the recognition of the language minority group, especially in the city center where most services essential for daily life are located. The study of the linguistic landscape of the city center reveals the relation of dominant and minority languages: Spanish language gains recognition in most public signage, but it is placed in second position while the dominance of English language is reinforced even by the visual arrangement of the signs.
