As a tourism destination area in Central Java, public spaces in Tawangmangu are interesting to examine from a linguistic landscape perspective. This study aims to reveal the culinary presence that is displayed in the outdoor media public space in the Tawangmangu tourism area, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java. This study used a descriptive qualitative method and linguistic landscape theory from Landry and Bourhis (1997) which refers to the visibility and salience of languages on public and commercial signs in a given territory or region. This study also examined the dominant and subordinate groups. The findings reveal that most of the culinary delights shown in Tawangmangu's public spaces are local (traditional) culinary delights. This means that as a destination area, Tawangmangu is dominated by local (domestic) and foreign tourists who consume a lot of traditional food. In addition, traditional culinary delights are still well maintained in tourist destination areas where tourists are not only local but also from abroad.

Meanwhile, representation theory of representation [24] states that everyone can freely construct meaning based on language, images, symbols, and also their experiences.…”

Billboard advertisements for legislative and senatorial campaigns are integral to the cityscape leading to the general elections, reflecting local political dynamics. This study examines the linguistic landscape in billboard advertisements for legislative and senator campaigns heading for the general election in Indonesia. A qualitative method was employed, gathering data from billboard advertisements across various city areas. Analysis was conducted on the language usage, stylistic features, word choice, sentence structure, and visual representations in these billboard advertisements. Findings indicate a variation in language usage, with standard Indonesian predominating but also a presence of local language mixtures. Stylistic features range from persuasive to informative, while word choice tends toward positively connotated terms. Sentence structures tend to be simple and direct, while visual representations emphasize the candidates and symbols reflecting political aspirations. These results depict candidates' complex communication strategies influencing voter opinions and attitudes. A profound understanding of this linguistic landscape is crucial for political observers and candidates to comprehend local political campaign dynamics and effective communication strategies. This study added a new dimension to understanding how political communication is manifested in public spaces. By focusing on billboards as an outdoor media, which often serves as a daily backdrop for many people, this study explores how language can effectively capture voters' attention and influence their political attitudes. Thus, this study is expected to significantly enrich the understanding of political linguistics and communication strategies in the context of election campaigns.

This analysis used descriptive-qualitative methods. The data was pictures of shop signs in that area which was chosen by several criteria. The signs that we chose was sign in Kamal main road, it was only business signs, and we only analysed the name of the business signs. By using that criteria, we found 277 signs for our data. The data was analysed quantitatively to know the distribution and factors influencing the existence of languages in the signs. The findings revealed that the shop owners still used languages other than the Madurese language in their shop signs, such as English, Korean, Mandarin, and Arabic, with Indonesian being the most dominant language. It implies that as one of the gates of Madura, there is modernization and diversity demonstrated by the use of foreign languages in the area. It also supports the idea that the people in Kamal Madura are heterogenous. Moreover, using the Indonesian language in that area implies loyalty to the central Government’s language policy.
