Abstract

Verbal signs used in public spaces have a very important role as a means of national and international communication. By using the theory of meaning and function [1] and form [2], this study aims to examine the function of verbal signs found in public spaces in Bali. Data were collected in the Badung and Denpasar areas using observation methods through shooting and recording and analyzed using content analysis methods. The results showed that the verbal signs found in public spaces in Bali are used to convey information (giving information), prohibitions (prohibitions), warnings (warnings), orders (command / requesting), appologizing and greetings. ). All these language functions are realized in various forms.
