“…Abel and Buckley (1977, p. 3) Basthomi (2007) argued that graffiti are related to any sort of symbols, scratches, drawings, signs, paintings found on walls or anywhere irrespective to what inspires the writing. Considering their various forms, they have been studied from different angles: social (Adams &Winter, 1997), cultural, religious (Chiluwa, 2008), political (Salamon, 2005, Morva, 2016, language learning (Mwangi, 2012), motivational and emotional (Peiris, and Jayantha, 2015), gendered (House, 2007, Matthews, et al, 2012, Haslem, 2012, linguistics (Grider, 1975, Abu-Jaber, et al, 2012 quantitative, preventative, and aesthetic (for more illustration see Gadsby, 1995).…”

Graffiti have received a great attention from scholars as they have been considered a vital cultural phenomenon for many years (Trahan, 2011;Divsalar & Nemati, 2012;Zakareviciute, 2014;Farnia, 2014;El-Nashar & Nayef;. Although there are extensive contemporary researches on graffiti in many disciplines, such as linguistics, cultural studies, politics, art, and communication (Pietrosanti, 2010;Farnia, 2014;Oganda, 2015), there are few studies exploring graffiti on classrooms' walls in higher education milieus (Farnia, 2014). To the best knowledge of the researchers, very few studies were done on the Jordanian context (e.g. Al-Haj Eid, 2008;Abu-Jaber, et al., 2012) and none was done on the Jordanian universities. Therefore, this study aims at analysing the content and communicative features of writings found on universities' classrooms' walls, corridors, and washrooms and their relation to the socio-cultural values of the society in order to explore how universities help students voice their attitudes and thoughts. The linguistic features that characterise these writings were also examined. Graffiti-writings, which were collected from the University of Jordan and the Hashemite University, were coded and analysed using the thematic content analysis technique (Braun & Clarke, 2006) and Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1995). The analysis of the data has shown that graffiti serve different communicative language functions related to personal, social, national, religious, political, and taboo matters. The most salient linguistic features of these graffiti are simplicity and variation. It can be concluded that graffiti are distinctive and silent ways of communication, particularly in students' society. The study will be of great importance to linguists, sociologists, educators, administrators, teachers and parents. It is enrichment to the available literature on linguistic studies.

“…Some were simple content analyses of the most common sticker themes or their semantics (AlMomani, Ahmad Jaradat, BaniKhair, Mohammad, & Alshaboul, 2017;Case, 1992;Endersby, & Towle, 1996;Jaradat, 2016;Stern & Solomon, 1992). Other studies went beyond simple classification and included speculation about the symbolic meaning of stickers for issues such as gender (Noble & Baldwin, 2001), religion (Chiluwa, 2008), family identity (Doyle & Tranter, 2015), law (Doyle & Tranter, 2016), consumer perceptions (Belk, 1988), national identity (Kriznar, 1993), and political discourse (Bloch, 2000a(Bloch, , 2000bSalamon, 2005). The studies were of limited value to the present study because empirical support for the interpretations was very limited or even nonexistent in some cases (e.g., Doyle & Tranter, 2015;Noble & Baldwin, 2001).…”

“…Scholars studying graffiti or stickers on various vehicles used a variety of terms to refer to this phenomenon: Bumper stickers (Bloch, 2000;Case, 1992Salamon, 2005, House, 2007 vehicle stickers (Chiluwa, 2008), truck graffiti (Basthomi, 2009;Farnia & Tohidian, 2013) or car written manuscripts (Divsalar & Nemati, 2012). It is worth noting that the term 'bumper stickers' was used by Rains et al (2009) to refer to sayings that are included in an e-mail signature file following personal identifiers such as one's name, phone number, and postal address.…”

“…She (ibid) investigated the cultural and linguistic functions of con safos graffiti within the Mexican-American community. Some scholars have seen graffiti as a means of language learning (Mwangi, 2012), as discourse of religious identity (Chiluwa, 2008), as political discourse (Mirzaalikhani, 2011;Obeng, 2000aObeng, , 2000bBloch, 2000;Case, 1992;Salamon, 2005), and as a gendered discourse (Moonwomon, 1995;House, 2007). Newhagen and Ancell, (1995), for example, believe that content analyses of bumper stickers through ethnographic methods and approaches in social psychology show that stickers are discursive means of expressing emotions and social status whereas Bloch (2000) believes that they are a spontaneous medium of protest evolving into a routinized form of public discourse.…”

Language attitudes cover a wide variety of emphases, and the reasons for studying language attitudes attract sociolinguists. Language attitudes may well tackle issues extend to all sociolinguistic and social psychological phenomena, such as how we locate ourselves socially and how we relate to other individuals and groups. They may also shape our behaviors and experiences. This study investigates Kuwaitis' Attitudes towards vehicles' stickers in Kuwait. Data were collected from responses to 17 items -questionnaire and 1 open-ended question aimed at investigating Kuwaitis' attitudes towards the content (political, religious, aesthetic, etc. and the shape (size, color, etc.) of vehicles' stickers. Findings were analyzed statistically. Means, Standard deviations, T-tests, and ANOVA were utilized. Results show that Kuwaitis, in general expressed negative attitudes towards both the content and the shape of the stickers. The open-ended question data provided inclusive data as to the reasons behind such a negative attitude.
