graffiti and tagging (grassroots, informal). Languages present: Spanish “busco novi@” : means “looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend”. “Luzia Urdalaz” (likely a personal name, stylized). English influence (in style, not full words): some tags use letterforms typical of English hip-hop/graffiti culture (blocky, stylized, unreadable signatures). Symbolic scripts : most are tags (nicknames/signatures), functioning as identity markers rather than meaningful language. Identity & subculture : Tags (e.g. "YESBAN", "WONE", "TSAH") are graffiti names/pseudonyms. They mark territory, presence, or identity in urban space. The language isn’t about communication but visibility, rebellion, and belonging to urban/street culture. Multimodal writing : use of color (red, blue, silver, black), overlapping tags, stylized letterforms. Code-switching potential : Spanish for direct communication, English-style forms for global graffiti identity. Individual vs collective : unlike posters (public, institutional), graffiti is personal/anonymous expression. Orthographic creativity : “novi@” uses @ as a gender-neutral ending, which shows digital language influence in graffiti. Graffiti here contributes as bottom-up language use (vs. top-down advertising and cultural posters). It shows how youth identity, urban art, and language intersect. The mixture of Spanish (for communication) + English-inspired graffiti style (for prestige/subcultural belonging) reflects global-local interplay. PALRA

Spanish : “Asociación Nacional de Negocios Turísticos y Souvenirs” (National Association of Tourist and Souvenir Businesses) “asociado nº 447” (member no. 447) Spanish is the main language Souvenirs is a loanword: originally French, borrowed into both English and Spanish with the same meaning (a keepsake, typically from travel) This makes the sticker monolingual Spanish in structure, but with a lexical borrowing that is international.
