Apart from being a place of worship, mosques also have cultural elements that can be researched, especially writing in and around them. This study uses the concept of landscape linguistics as a basis for explaining the meaning and symbols of religion including the writings on the Baiturrahmah Great Mosque in Denpasar. The purpose of this study was to determine the meaning and religious symbols behind the writing surrounding the mosque environment. This study used a qualitative methodology, where the writings about the mosque were recorded with a cellphone camera and analysed one by one. The results obtained from this study are not only the meaning displayed by the Baiturrahmah Grand Mosque, but also the religious symbols scattered in the writings around the mosque. Starting from writing the name of the mosque, writing on the place of ablution, writing on a charity box, a notice board, calligraphy in the room, to writing on sandals. All these writings if examined further turned out to have a variety of functions, namely information, promotions, prohibitions, appeals, decorations in the mosque.

Translation techniques are skills, practical arts or procedures used by translators in their translation activities. Translation techniques are applied to assist translators to select the most precise and accurate equivalents in Target Language (TL). This study was carried out to find the techniques used by legal translators in translating legal text. The data for this study were taken from Law No. 25 of 2007 and four notary deeds and two non-notary deeds. The data were qualitatively analyzed based on the theory of translation procedures by Newmark (1988). The result of this study showed that fifteen translation techniques were used by legal translators. Literal translation occupies the top position, followed by calque, pragmatic amplification, established equivalence, translation shift, reversed naturalization, generalization, pragmatic reduction, modulation, compensation, semantic compression, cultural adaptation, borrowing, semantic amplification and description. The result of this study denied Alcaraz and Hughes’ argument that literal translation is not recommended in the translation.

The protection of language diversity has become one of the topical issues in the rapidly globalizing modern world influenced by information technology. The article studies the protection of Azerbaijani language in e-government. The approaches to the impacts of globalization on lingua-cultural space and linguistic processes are explored. The protection of linguistic diversity and the application opportunities of linguistic technologies in e-government are analyzed. The approaches to the protection of Azerbaijani language in e-Azerbaijan segment of the global information space are provided. A conceptual model that provides effective mechanisms for the application of linguistic technologies is proposed. In general, there are various ideas and approaches related to language protection on the Internet. There are many factors endangering language in the globalization process, and it is not possible to maintain the language at the expense of controlling each of these factors. In this regard, the Internet can also be used to raise awareness about the language loss and language protection. The application of cloud-based linguistic technologies enables the provision of different services over the Internet (translation, cataloging, data storage, availability etc.). They can also be used to preserve the integrity of spoken language. Furthermore, many of these technologies used for sound and speech recognition can be applied to protect spoken languages. The use of linguistic technologies in e-Azerbaijan segment of the unique information space will contribute to the protection and development of Azerbaijani language by providing variety of e-services.

This study is a pragmatic related and connected to illocutionary act in speech act. There are five types of illocutionary act based on Searle’s theory and they are assertive, directive, commissive, expressive and declarative. However, to make the analysis more specific, this study will be focused on assertive illocutionary act by using the theory proposed by Searle (1976). The types of assertive illocutionary act will be specifically described by explaining in what context of situation they are usually used in a conversation.

The Wonderful Indonesia logo is an Indonesian tourism identity formed by verbal and non-verbal elements. The verbal element is the words "wonderful Indonesia" and the non-verbal element is a picture of "bird" such as the eagle which is a symbol of the Indonesian state. Charles Sanders Peirce's Triadic theory mentions three main elements that make up the Wondeful Indonesia logo, namely: object, representation and interpretant. The representation is expressed in the written language of “wonderful Indonesia” with artistic writing, flexible, elegant and beautiful fonts. It is interpreted that Indonesia is one of the world's most beautiful, charming and enchanting tourist destinations. The writing of "Indonesia" is bigger than the word “wonderful” so that it is interpreted that Indonesia is the one that has a variety of charms. The object, in the form of a bird image, is like a Garuda. The head, wings, tail and body of the bird are displayed with flexible, beautiful, artistic lines, reflecting that Indonesians have a flexible, friendly, peace-loving character and are welcome to the world community. The word "wonderful" is written in English as world’s of language It is hoped that this word which has a great, amazing, enchanting meaning can easily come to the citizen of world’s mind.. Based on the function of language, the word "wonderful" has a poetic function, which is a message to be conveyed to the world, that Indonesia is very charming, amazing, unique and interesting.

The Great Vowel Shift or GVS refers to a period of radical change in how the English language is spoken. It is a process of systematic changes in the pronunciation of all Middle English long vowels in their transition to Modern English. All the long vowels came to be pronounced with a greater elevation of the tongue and closing of the mouth. The effect of the shift was that vowels were either raised or became diphthongs. The purpose of this paper is to show the pronunciation differences between Middle English and Modern English in the value of the long vowels as well as to discuss the criticisms brought forward against the Great Vowel Shift illustrated with examples. The results show that the Great Vowel Shift was no uniform process, but a series of local developments over time. Moreover, there are some words that show irregularities, i.e. their pronunciation of long vowels is still similar to that of Middle English. The critiques help us conclude that the reason why it is hard to non-native English speakers to learn the correct English pronunciation occurs as a consequence of the shift.
