The Brijuni National Park (Croatia) as an Object of Linguistic Landscape Research in the

Linguistic Landscape has grown across environments, but just a few Croatian studies exist. Considering objects/phenomena called “linguistic landscape”, and ways in which to identify a site, the paper presents one of the most visited attractions in Croatia. Due to rich natural and cultural heritage, and interesting history since the prehistoric times, it seems to deserve such a perspective. The main questions include what languages (how many/why) are used within this specific community and what sort of (non)textual messages are sent to its visitors. The analyzed site represents a vast space as a real-world phenomenon and a conceptual tool that can help us define the productive nature of “spaces”. We can conclude that it is needed to raise the linguistic awareness of authorities responsible for promoting the archipelago in the country with economy so grounded on tourism. This responsibility also belongs to linguists who explore language in its entirety.
