A weboldalak szerepe a virtuális iskolai nyelvi tájképében
The role of websites in the virtual schoolscape

Summary/Abstract: Since websites have been dominant elements of the virtual space, they have an important role in forming the image of educational institutions. This paper compares the virtual content of a number of Slovakian and Hungarian primary, secondary and higher educational institutions, focusing on the aspects of online education and the epidemiological situation, and in addition paying attention to the rate of bi- and multilingualism. In the last couple of years several researches have focused on linguistic landscape, which resulted in setting up various subfields, one of which is schoolscape and another one is cyberscape which focuses on virtual relations. In some cases there are overlaps between the subfields, so their study can be connected. Certainly the schoolscape not only refers to virtual relations but to the totality of individual and collective language representations and visual materials, which reflect the communicative practices of this well-structured specified space, the school. Naturally, the virtual aspects make up only a small part of the characteristics of schoolscape – a specific space of visual language use – since in school each visual and linguistic manifestation can be studied which reflects the communicational expectations and requirements of this space.
