“…LL investigates the correlation between language and tangible surroundings, in addition to the ways in which language is expressed in public spaces through writing, symbols, or signs (Iye et al, 2023). The integration of linguistic and semiotic components of signs contributes to a more comprehensive and holistic analysis of the LL (Artawa et al, 2023).…”

“…The integration of linguistic and semiotic components of signs contributes to a more comprehensive and holistic analysis of the LL (Artawa et al, 2023). LL, as defined by Passi (in Iye et al, 2023), examines the interplay between language and the physical environment in which it is spoken. This is accomplished through language mapping, topographical research, and historical investigations to understand the impact of the physical environment on spoken language.…”

“…Overall, the indications imply that the use of English holds greater significance in the identification of their shops. In a study conducted byIye et al (2023) and a separate study byMcDermott (2019), the researchers showed that the use of the English language in public spaces can be seen as a reflection of the influence of Western culture and the worldwide phenomena of globalization on language usage. Cenoz and Gorter (as cited in Tang, 2020) argue that "[t]he use of English in commercial signs does not seem to be intended to transmit factual information but is used for its connotational value … activat[ing] values such as international orientation, future orientation, success, sophistication or fun orientation" Mulyawan et al (2022).…”

This study investigates the linguistic landscape of Lembang, Bandung, Indonesia. The field site is situated in a region distinguished by the longstanding presence of diverse cultures and a high degree of multilingualism. This study employed photographs as the primary data source to gather samples from the tourist area of Lembang. The research methodology employed in this study involved the use of photographs. The data presented demonstrate the presence of multiple dimensions that characterize the linguistic landscape of a tourist area. The 83 photographs reveal the language distribution of the Lembang LL. There are three public signs discernible from the language usage of LL signs: monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual. The linguistic landscape in Lembang LL demonstrates a complex interplay of sociopolitical and economic factors, resulting in a multifaceted phenomenon. The results indicate that Indonesian, as the sole national and official language of the country, occupies a prominent position on all signs. English is recognized as the second most significant language in Indonesia, following Indonesian, and is widely used as a means of international communication. Nevertheless, it is regrettable that Sundanese is not predominantly utilized, particularly within the economic realm or business world in the Lembang region. The aforementioned findings indicate that English and Indonesian in Lembang possess both symbolic and commercial significance. Furthermore, the linguistic landscape (LL) in Lembang progressively transforms into a commodified entity.
