“…Nevertheless, other languages such as English and Arabic also frequently occur, depending on the locality, for example, the business area and the Arab quarter respectively (Sartono 2018). Different findings are presented in Yannuar's (2018) study on the LL of Malang which overtly champions a local dialect, Walikan. This is viewed as an example of the extent to which the inhabitants have embraced the local dialect, the majority of whose users are young people, alongside Indonesian and other regional languages.…”

The present study provides a depiction of Malioboro through the interconnected prisms of language presentation, language preferences, and sign informativeness. Seven hundred and twenty-nine public signs were examined and analysed. Although the analysis was limited to words, the survey also paid attention to language preferences and sign informativeness, wit, clarity, and visibility to both local and foreign visitors. Our findings reveal the dominance of Indonesian in the linguistic landscape (LL) of Malioboro, Yogyakarta's most famous street; 73% of the signs were in Indonesian; indeed, all non-commercial signs use Indonesian. Only 15% of all signs used English and fewer than 5% of the signs contained Javanese, either in its original script or romanized. True to its principal target group, Indonesian speakers, the LL of Malioboro displays an exclusiveness and reflects the implementation of Indonesia's language policy. Our survey shows both Indonesian and English prevailing in commercial, regulatory, and infrastructural signs, most of which are informative.

“…In addition to multilingualism aspects, the Indonesian LL studies were also associated with other micro-and macro-analysis of linguistics. The micro-analysis includes Yannuar's (2018) study focusing on the morphological dimension of Walikan, Kweldju's (2021) analysis of signs collected by students as examples of materials for a morphology class assignment, and Syahrawati et al's (2022) research on signs in restaurants in Taliwang which focuses on morphological analysis of words observable in the signs. Linguistic landscape studies do not only cover micro-analysis of linguistics of the signs in public areas.…”

Linguistic Landscape (LL) research has explored signage in various public places in the world, including Indonesia. However, since there has been no comprehensive review of LL studies in Indonesia, the current article seeks to identify trends in LL research in Indonesia. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method was applied to analyze thirty-one LL articles coming out from the open knowledge maps application. The findings suggest that there is a steady increase in the number of LL studies in Indonesia apparent starting from the year of 2017 based on the obtained data from eleven provinces. More bottom-up signs were found mostly using quantitative approaches. The findings also reveal that the Indonesian language dominates signs in the LL studies followed by English. Interestingly, although Indonesia has the biggest number of Muslim citizens in the world, Arabic is used more often than English only in two locations of LL studies, namely the tomb of Sunan Ampel and the City of Mataram. Issues often discussed in the LL studies are multilingualism, micro-analysis of linguistics, and broader issues, namely powerandsolidarity, identity, and ideology. Future researchers may focus more on qualitative analysis of LL studies, and relates LL studies with promising topics on geo-linguistics, management of halal food, ecology and culture, inequality and economic mobility, health issues, minority language, media in ELT, and online/virtual LL as well as language contestation related to the abovementioned issues.

“…Boso Walikan is actually far from complicated. It is a flexible combination between Javanese and Indonesian languages that are spoken in backward formations (Hermawan, 2014;Hoogervorst, 2014;Rozin et al, 2022;Tropea, 2022;Yannuar, 2022). For example, instead of saying kaos kamu apik (your shirt is nice -in a normal sentence formation), Malangese may opt to say soak umak kipa (your shirt is nice -in a backward sentence formation).…”

This paper offers a critical response to fundamental theories of representation in the introductory section of Representation: Cultural Representations and Signifying Practices, a book written by Hall, Evans, and Nixon. As of January 2023, the book had won critical acclaims and was cited 13,500 times. The writers discuss how important a system of representation operates to connect language, society, and cultural differences in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Using a specific case of Boso Walikan, the Malangese slang language as a representational system, the writers discover that cultural differences may occur within the same society where most people share the same cultural values and speak the same language. In this case, not all Malangese people like to speak their unique slang language although they were born and grown up in Malang and can speak the slang well. In the end, the whole process of strange to familiar ideas of expressions, thus representations, matches very closely with the concept of shared meaning in any given culture or unique system of representation. For the case of Boso Walikan, it seems safe to suggest that any of its native users are just ‘more experienced’ speakers of the slang language.
