Reconstructing Linguistic Landscapes in Time and Space at the Railways in South Africa | Chapter 1 | Research Highlights in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 3

 Rail transport is the foundation of mobility in South Africa, inviting diverse commuters from various sociocultural and financial backgrounds. This paper survey the transformation of the linguistic countryside (LL) in South Africa since completely of apartheid as perceived and knowing by rail commuters. The directing research objective was to evaluate the LL through the lenses of rail commuters over opportunity. Interviews were conducted to evaluate commuter perceptions and happenings of changes in the languages secondhand on signs at the railways since the end of racism. Interviews were analysed using having a theme content analysis, fortified with multimodal analyses of signs. Key judgments reveal that even though signs about racial segregation were distant from the LL since completely of apartheid, many people contemporary still remember those signs and stretch to act upon the ideas that were displayed on the apartheid signs as if they wait physically emplaced. The verdicts suggest that messages about ethnic segregation in the LL had affix in people’s minds. In this way, the paper contributes to the desire of ‘oralinguascaping’ in which society rely on two together memory and oral accent for sign-making thereby divergent traditional theorising on LL that is chiefly premised on composed or scripted languages or texts.
