概要	This study investigates the lexical productivity of the suffix -scape within Linguistic Landscape (LL) research, showing how the field has expanded conceptually from its original focus on visible written language in public spaces. Using data from the Linguistic Landscape Corpus, a 4.8-million-token collection of over 500 LL-related academic texts, the analysis identifies 64 distinct -scape formations. While the term landscape dominates, accounting for over 90% of occurrences, a growing range of alternative -scapes such as schoolscape, soundscape, smellscape, cyberscape, and semioscape reveal the diversification of research sites and methods. These findings show that the -scape morpheme has become a productive means for naming new analytical environments, extending LL inquiry into physical, sensory, digital, and abstract domains.
