Abstract
This thesis investigates the visibility of Dongba script in the linguistic landscape (LL) of the Old Town of Lijiang, China, with a focus on its visibility, the symbolic functions it conveys, and the influential factors that various LL actors exert in shaping its visibility. Situated in a multilingual and multicultural context in a UNESCO world cultural heritage site in China, the study explores how Dongba script reflects the interplay between language, identity, and commercialization in a globalized world.
