Linguistic Statistics About Shop Signs
Published Version

Abstract

The paper is a short version of my thesis "Linguistische Analyse von Geschäftsschildern" (Linguistic analysis of shop signs) in English.

More than 10 000 signs were collected in 32 locations in Germany, Austria, the German-speaking part of Switzerland, France, and England. The statistics about languages, parts of speech, word formation patterns, and vocabulary sections are shortly interpreted in respect to the locations and countries. All the data are also analysed according to the branches of economic activities in each country.
