Description
Summary:	As an ethnographic approach to language studies Linguistic Landscape is one of the new trends in investigating the interaction between the human and place. Gagavuz Yeri, which became an Autonomous Territorial Unit in 1994, is a multilingual place. Field investigations show that officially recognized languages are the Gagavuz, Russian and Moldovan Languages are apparently not represented in public space equally. In this study, the representation of the languages in the area as a Post-Soviet context will be explored on the basis of the sociolinguistic role of Russian language and Gagavuz language as an endangered language.
