AJR - Check In #3 This picture shows a an advertisement sign by Central Pacific Bank. The languages used in this sign are English and Pidgin with the word “Shaka” in large print while the rest of the English words are in much smaller print. With how large “Shaka” is compared to the rest of the words on the ad, it brings most of the focus to it while the rest of the ad acts as a background filler. The intended audience is anyone capable of speaking English since the ad is placed outside next to a major street

KA : This is a dubious use of pidgin in my opinion. Usually Shaka Shaka is used ti appeal to tourists, not locals. But the product was in a local store. Nonetheless, tourists do love anything seemingly local but not too local and this fits the bill. Domain retail.

KA : This could probably serve as either Hawaiian or pidgin, but I'm choosing pidgin. "keiki kaukau" means kid food. Which is what the box is full of, toys for children in the form of local foods. My guess is that someone thought it was adorable, because it is. Domain is retail.
