Resumen

Teniendo en cuenta el marco teórico de la sociolingüística de la globalización, los migrantes se asientan en nuevos países a través de procesos de desterritorialización y reterritorialización, los cuales implican cambios en la percepción de la lengua y símbolos de la patria, y de las nuevas comunidades en las que se establecen. Dado que esta relación contextual se ve reflejada en el espacio público, el presente estudio analiza cómo se utilizan recursos dominicanos en el paisaje lingüístico y semiótico de Tetuán, un conocido barrio dominicano de Madrid. Combinando una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa, los resultados muestran una presencia de rasgos lingüísticos y semióticos dominicanos en el espacio público. Los hallazgos sugieren que la comunidad dominicana en Madrid ha adaptado su nuevo lugar para hacerlo más similar a su tierra natal, la República Dominicana, reterritorializando el paisaje lingüístico de Tetuán mientras construye y da forma a nuevas identidades. Este estudio contribuye a la investigación sobre el paisaje lingüístico y actitudes lingüísticas en entornos multilingües.
