Erinnerungs-, Orientierungs- und Hinweisfunktion Jerusalemer Verkehrsflächennamen mit französischsprachigen Elementen im Rahmen toponomastischer Linguistic-Landscape-Forschung

Abstract

This article deals with hodonyms in Jerusalem that include French elements. By distinguishing between top-down and bottom-up texts displayed in public spaces, and between the sometimes differing perspectives of decision makers and their advisors on the one hand, and the public on the other hand, it examines the impact of the hodonymic functions of memory, orientation and indication on Jerusalemites. In accordance with recent developments in Linguistic Landscaping, the corpus includes both photographs and interviews.
