The linguistic landscape that I chose is the online community called “Subtle Asian Traits.” Subtle Asian Traits is a Facebook group that is comprised of Asians who share stories, memes, videos, etc. related to Asian Culture. Many members of this group are from different parts of Asia, North America, Australia, and many other continents. Because of the vast diversity in the Subtle Asian Traits group, there are different types of experiences that are shared. For example, a person may choose to share their story in a specific country, such as Japan. This allows other people to comment on their post and share their own experience or ask questions regarding the trip. The reason why I chose this online community as my Linguistic Landscape is because it allows me to learn more about my own culture, and other Asian cultures. The experiences that are shared in the group allows everyone to learn more about a culture, and that creates a sense of belonging.
