PALRA | Documenting Living Languages in Western Iberia SM | San Martín de Trevejo Corpus ID : 005 - 155746 Semiotic Resources (TS) / Composition (LL) : image+text (photos of performers, bull, logos, symbols) Translational Agency (TS) / Directedness (LL) : bottom-up (commercial & cultural promoters) Discursive Framing (TS) / Discourse (LL) : commercial+ informatory (event-related) Translation Strategy (TS) / Distribution (LL) : mixing Visibility / Linguistic Hierarchy (TS) / Dominance (LL) :quantity+size+ typeface+colour (large, bold performer names dominate; background images secondary) Mobility (TS) / Dynamics (LL) : fixed (affixed to panel/board) Sign Type (TS) / Form (LL) : posters (concert + bullfighting + festival) Textual Integrity (TS) / Integrity (LL) : superimposed (readable posters, not significantly damaged) Intertextuality (TS) / Layering (LL) : material Multilingualism (TS) / Linguality (LL) : bilingual Material (TS) / Material (LL) : paper Inscription (TS) / Mode (LL) : printed Agents (TS) / Name (LL) : event- festival Placement (TS) / Placement (LL) : public transport stop Size (TS) / Size (LL) : A3–1 m² (main concert poster); smaller for side posters Status (TS) / Status (LL) : recognised (transgressive or semi-authorised (community posters often pasted informally) Paratext (TS) / Supplement (LL) : none Temporality (TS) / Temporality (LL) : event-related (concerts, festivals, bullfighting dates) Language Constellation (TS) / Languages (LL) : SPA (Spanish)+POR ( Portuguese)+ ENG ( English) Intersemiotic Elements (TS) / Non-Linguistic Semiotics (LL) : images of bull, performer photo, coloured festival map Translation Mode (TS) / Translation Mode (LL) : interlingual (3 languages) Translational Silencing (TS) / Absence Marker (LL) : Yes Extremaduran Notes : This cluster of posters highlights how public boards become contested semiotic spaces: overlapping inscriptions, competing for visibility. The commercial concert poster dominates visually, overshadowing smaller cultural and cross-border festival announcements. Despite being in San Martín de Trevejo (A Fala-speaking area, near Portugal), neither A Fala nor Portuguese are included, reinforcing the dominance of Spanish in event promotion. Additional Info: Poster 1 (left, black – “MORALEJA”) Language: Spanish (Castilian) Content: bullfighting schedule ("corrida de reses bravas", "novillada", "picadores") with names of toreros. Poster 2 (center – “Oro Viejo by DJ Nano”) Languages: Spanish and English "SÁBADO 16 AGOSTO 2025 DESDE LAS 22H" : Saturday, 16 August 2025, from 22h. (Spanish) Artists’ names appear in English/Spanish mix: e.g., "Rebeka Brown", "Raul Ortiz", "Abel The Kid", "Carlos Chaparro". Website: "sysevents.com" (English format). A mix of Spanish (date, time, location) and English (branding, event promotion), common in music and nightlife advertising in Spain. Poster 3 (bottom right – Feria Rayana) Languages: Spanish and Portuguese Spanish: "DEL 28 AL 31 DE AGOSTO 2025, MORALEJA" Portuguese: "FEIRA RAIANA" (fair between Spain and Portugal, "raiana" means “borderland”).

A prominently placed sticker reads “NO A LA MINA” in bold typography, followed by “¡Defiende Cáceres!” (Defend Cáceres!), over a green heart shape. Other smaller stickers around it include expressive tags and images, layering socio-political messaging onto public infrastructure. This sticker is part of broader civic action: Local activism: Organized by citizens under “Plataforma Salvemos la Montaña”, a group opposing the lithium mining project near the Sierra de la Mosca, a protected ecological area and symbol of local heritage. Mass mobilization: Two major protests were held in 2024, with attendance reaching up to 7,000 people, carrying slogans like “Defiende Cáceres” and “No a la mina” on banners throughout the city. Transparency concerns: Activists have accused regional authorities of withholding unfavorable environmental reports, raising frustration and rallying calls like those on the sticker. PALRA

Despite being located in an A Fala-speaking town, the promotional discourse is exclusively in Spanish, marking a tension between local linguistic identity and wider commercial reach. The QR code introduces a digital extension, merging physical and online promotional ecologies. PALRA

Spanish provides functional local communication, while English (mainly in band names and festival branding) ties the event to the global rock subculture. The coexistence of both languages, plus visual stylization, reflects how music scenes operate in a transnational space where local identity and global culture merge.

However, the placement hierarchy (Spanish above, Extremaduran below) reproduces symbolic dominance. The absence of A Fala is striking given the town’s linguistic ecology, highlighting competing policies of visibility for minority languages. PALRA

Translational Silencing (TS) / Absence Marker (LL) : Yes (Extremaduran absent) Notes : This hiking sign integrates pictograms with text, combining linguistic and non-linguistic resources for international comprehensibility. While designed for accessibility to tourists, it is exclusively in Spanish, leaving local minority languages absent. The use of the PR (Pequeño Recorrido) mark situates the trail within a broader European hiking network, indexing institutional authority and standardisation. PALRA
