Resumo: The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste establishes Portuguese and Tetum as official languages, while acknowledging English and Indonesian as working languages and endorsing the study and preservation of the various national languages. By examining one fragment of Dili’s linguistic landscape, the capital city, this study offers a perspective on the representation and distribution of the various languages in that landscape, as well as some notes on language policy, its purpose being to ascertain whether some languages are dominant over the others, to check the visibility of national languages and to find out if there is room for further languages other than national, official and working languages. The results now obtained are also compared with those presented by other studies on the same subject, concerning that same context.

Através da análise de um recorte da paisagem linguística da capital, Díli, este estudo oferece uma perspectiva sobre a representação e distribuição das várias línguas naquela paisagem, enquadrada por uma breve contextualização em termos de política linguística, na tentativa de apurar se existe predominância de alguma(s) língua(s) sobre as outras, de verificar a visibilidade das línguas nacionais e de averiguar se há lugar a outras línguas distintas das nacionais, das oficiais e das de trabalho. Ademais, será feita a comparação dos resultados agora obtidos com aqueles apresentados noutros estudos sobre a mesma temática, naquele mesmo contexto.PP/UFU2020-08-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/5176210.14393/DL44-v14n4a2020-6Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 14 No. 4 (2020): Linguistic Landscapes; 1197-1244Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 14 Núm. 4 (2020): Paisagens Linguísticas; 1197-1244Domínios de Lingu@gem; v. 14 n. 4 (2020): Paisagens Linguísticas; 1197-12441980-5799reponame:Domínios de Lingu@geminstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/51762/29649Copyright (c) 2020 Davi Borges de Albuquerqe, Nuno Carlos Almeidainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlbuquerque, DaviAlmeida, Nuno Carlos2020-12-23T19:38:50Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/51762Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagemPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/oairevistadominios@ileel.ufu.br||1980-57991980-5799opendoar:2020-12-23T19:38:50Domínios de Lingu@gem - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
