Surveying the Linguistic Landscape at the University of Pavia

We present the survey of the linguistic landscape of the two university campuses of the University of Pavia, the Humanities City Campus and the Science and Technology Cravino Campus, where 555 language signs were sampled in the spring of 2023 and analysed using a qualitative-quantitative approach. The goal of the study is to contribute to the research on the linguistic landscapes in higher education settings, interpreted as specific instances of public spaces. These studies are paramount to planning the future language policies of European universities such as the University of Pavia, one of the members of the EC2U Alliance (European Campus of City-Universities) and its Virtual Institute for Quality Education.
