PALRA | Documenting Living Languages in Western Iberia SM | San Martín de Trevejo Corpus ID : 014 - 155755 Semiotic Resources (TS) / Composition (LL) : symbol+text (Maltese cross) Translational Agency (TS) / Directedness (LL) : top-down (municipal/heritage authority) Discursive Framing (TS) / Discourse (LL) : infrastructure, commemorative Translation Strategy (TS) / Distribution (LL) : monolingual A Fala Visibility / Linguistic Hierarchy (TS) / Dominance (LL) :colour+ typeface+size+positioning (bold uppercase letters, high contrast black on yellow background) Mobility (TS) / Dynamics (LL) : fixed (fixed wall plaque) Sign Type (TS) / Form (LL) : plaque (ceramic heritage marker) Textual Integrity (TS) / Integrity (LL) : complete (intact and fully legible) Intertextuality (TS) / Layering (LL) : historic Multilingualism (TS) / Linguality (LL) : monolingual (A Fala, with Latin numeral “XVI”) Material (TS) / Material (LL) : other (ceramic tiles) Inscription (TS) / Mode (LL) : enamelled (hand-painted ceramic) Agents (TS) / Name (LL) : authority (heritage/municipal commission, artist signature visible) Placement (TS) / Placement (LL) : wall (mounted on stone surface) Size (TS) / Size (LL) : A4-A3 (small-medium heritage plaque) Status (TS) / Status (LL) : authorised (heritage signage) Paratext (TS) / Supplement (LL) : decorative symbol (Maltese cross), artist’s signature Temporality (TS) / Temporality (LL) : permanent Language Constellation (TS) / Languages (LL) : FAX (A Fala) + LAT (Latin numerals) Intersemiotic Elements (TS) / Non-Linguistic Semiotics (LL) : Maltese cross emblem Translation Mode (TS) / Translation Mode (LL) : monolingual /none Translational Silencing (TS) / Absence Marker (LL) : Yes (Extremaduran absent) Notes : This heritage plaque emphasises local identity through exclusive use of A Fala, a contrast to more common bilingual A Fala–Spanish signage. The Maltese cross links to historical-religious iconography, while the reference to the 16th century situates the site in a long historical continuum. This represents both linguistic affirmation and heritage branding through selective multilingual display. Additional info: The sign is written in A Fala (“Ronda da Muralla – Siglu XVI”). In Castilian Spanish, it would be: Ronda de la Muralla – Siglo XVI. PALRA

The design is typical of regional travel advertising: heavy text descriptions, visual reinforcement with photos, and strong emphasis on price/dates. The lack of translation contrasts with their cross-border tourism focus (Portugal), limiting accessibility for non-Spanish speakers, only through pictures. PALRA

The use of wrought metal cursive enhances aesthetic prestige, while the castle motif symbolically connects to San Martín’s fortified past. It stands as a counterpoint to industrial signage, foregrounding individual agency and heritage aesthetics. PALRA

Its annual appearance during the Cristo de la Cruz Bendita festival reflects ritualised temporality in the local semioscape, where religious imagery substitutes for linguistic signage in affirming identity and belonging.
