Abstract

This study aims to analyze disaster warning signs in Padang City, West Sumatra, using a multimodal approach within the framework of linguistic landscape studies. As a disaster-prone area vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis, Padang provides a critical context to examine the effectiveness of visual and verbal communication in disaster warning systems. Data were collected through field observations and visual documentation of disaster signs in strategic locations. The findings reveal that these signs combine linguistic elements (monolingual and bilingual), visual components (symbols, colors, images), and strategic placement following national regulations. Symbols such as tsunami waves, tall buildings, and evacuation arrows enhance public understanding. However, the current signage design lacks inclusivity for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and persons with disabilities. Moreover, the integration of local cultural context and indigenous knowledge remains limited. This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic and inclusive approach to disaster signage design,one that not only complies with technical standards but also considers the social, cultural, and psychological dimensions of the community. The findings offer valuable insights for improving disaster communication systems to be more effective and adaptive for multilingual and multicultural societies.

Abstract

Language acquisition is a process of absorption and mastery of language that occurs naturally in children. During the developmental period of language acquisition, children require beneficial stimulation to optimally develop their language skills. Typically, this stimulation comes from parents, who are their closest caregivers. This research focuses on language acquisition in a 3-year-old child cared for by working mothers. It aims to identify and describe the types of sentence structures acquired and mastered by the child, as well as the factors influencing the child's first language acquisition, particularly in relation to parenting styles from a working mother’s perspective. The study employs a qualitative-descriptive method. The subject of the study is a female child aged 3 years and 6 months. The data required includes primary data obtained from observations and secondary data collected from interviews with individuals living in the child’s family environment and among neighbors. The results show that the research subject, Claudia (a pseudonym), who is 3 years and 6 months old, has mastered four types of sentence structures: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory. Although the structures of these sentence modes are not perfect, Claudia's performance in producing them at her age is quite commendable. The observations and interviews reveal three main factors contributing to her speaking skills: social and family environmental factors, cognitive intelligence, and motivational factors.
