Vladivostok by Braille Shakespeare and semantics

by Georgia J. Michlig 02/09/07 08:20 PM
A colleague of mine once said of Vladivostok, “This is a port city, English is in the air.” English is indeed the language of business and commerce. Yet here in Vladivostok with English in the air, Russian on the streets, and living in an academic community where French, Japanese, Chinese, German, Dutch, and Korean are generally just around the corner, one finds oneself in the center of a semiotic implosion.
Any comments?
