This paper will focus on the LL of Daugavpils from a diachronic point of view in order to describe the usage of the Latvian language in the public space since the middle of the 19 century until today, as well as the socio-economic and political factors which inß uence the language situation. Research sources are old photos which depict legible signboards, and photos obtained during LL research 2013. The role of the Latvian language in public information increased during the Þ rst period of independence, when ideas of nationalism become widespread and the Þ rst normative documents about language usage were approved. However, the stability of Latvian as the main language of the public was only established during the Þ rst Latvian Republican period at the end of the 20 century, when the State Language Law was passed and implemented in linguistic practice. Currently, the linguistic landscape reß ects the political, socio-pragmatic, and social identity motivations of the owners of public texts, but within the conÞ nes of the restrictions imposed by language laws.
