Abstract
Linguistic landscape (LL) studies have primarily been undertaken by linguists not landscape scholars. By reviewing two works in LL, this review article questions several assumptions of LL and claims the field can be considered a logical extension of any holistic consideration of elements of analysis warranted to be carried out under the banner of traditional sociolinguistics. By questioning what the sub-field of LL offers studies of language in and of landscape, this polemic queries how landscape focused LL actually is and identifies how further LL studies may arise with a more directed landscape emphasis.
