Abstract

This study aims to investigate the linguistic landscape on the naming of places of worship that can be observed in the religious and cultural and social landscapes. Some languages are also found on common signs in places of worship. The problem focuses on the function of information and symbols to find the landscape motif that occurs in the naming of the worship theme. This study uses Linguistic Landscape Theory, which describes the existence of linguals, linguistic ideologies, and lingual competition. The research method uses a phenomenological approach with a qualitative descriptive research type, although some information uses numerical data. The target of the study is language identity in Lamongan with the most popular language pattern instruments, namely Indonesian, Arabic, Javanese, Sanskrit. The results of the study show that the linguistic landscape in the naming of places of worship has several information functions (1) as a manifestation of the identity of places of worship, (2) as information on the owners of places of worship, (3) as a means of informing religious streams, sects, and mass organizations, (4) as a means of promotion, (5) as a location marker. While the symbolic function shows (1) the symbolic function of the Indonesian language as the essence of the harmony of religious organizations, (2) the symbolic function of the Arabic language as modernity and identity, (3) the symbolic function of the Javanese language: traditionality and historical preservation.

Abstract

Underlying sociopolitical and power dynamics influence the formation of discourses. Due to its cultural traces, the prevalence of Western elements in English textbooks is not exactly novel. However, the question remains whether the Western elements in English textbooks have any social implications, particularly the issue of Global English in the EFL landscape. Thus, this study examines the representation of Western cultural elements found in Indonesian English textbooks across two curricula and their implication towards Global English using critical discourse analysis. The results concluded that both textbooks represent Western-centric elements differently in the text, discursive, and social practice layers. Despite that, both textbooks consistently privilege Western values and cultures. Such representations challenge Global English principles that emphasises on cultural identity. Moreover, the findings also highlight how the representation of Western elements in both textbooks could cause cultural mismatches that make it harder for the students to internalise. The present study advocates the need for balanced materials that incorporate both Western elements and local cultures to nurture cultural identity, which is the core principle of Pancasila ideology that is used as the basis to create the Indonesian educational curricula.
