(SP) (photo taken while riding The Bus) this is a semipermanent paper sign taken while riding one of Honolulu’s Buses (transportation domain). It uses a heading of “Mālama kūpuna” and then the English translation of the phrase directly below it, which indicates that this sign’s audience is both Locals and tourists alike. Hawaiian may have been used to appeal to Locals’ value of taking care of those older than them, and to reflect a strong sense of “Hawaiian values”. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

EL-S Checkip #2 : Languages used on this sign is English and Hawaiian. Languages presented all in the same way except Kokua is underlined. I think to emphasize kokua. The audience is general public. The domain is the airport. The sign is telling people we need your help. The sign is here to just let people know we need your help, it could be talking about anything. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

EL-S Check up #2 : Hawaiian and English are being used. The Hawaiian words are bigger than the English words. I think it’s to let people know what the survey is named. The audience is probably people coming in from the mainland to talk about their flight experience. The domain is work. The sign is trying to get people engage into a survey. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is the design on a T-Shirt. Shaka Bruddah is Pidgin (Hawaiʻi Creole). Shaka refers to a hand sign popular in local Hawaiʻi which has multiple meanings, some of which are ‘thanks’ ‘hello’ ‘goodbye’ while Bruddah is roughly equivalent to English ‘brother’ as a term of endearment. The English translation for Shaka is ‘hang loose’ which is provided on the shirt design. The Hawaiian Islands are located above the Shaka which is flanked by two coconut trees. The bottom contains the words Aloha and Hawaii. This shirt seems to be meant for outsiders making the T-shirt symbolic-synthetic because ‘hang loose’ is not commonly used by locals but rather is used more by the surfer community in the continental US.

I found this flyer on the bulletin board on campus. I suppose this is expressive sign because they use “kine” to share the local identity. SS Multilingual Hawaiʻi
