ABSTRACT
The coming of the digital world has not only paved way to motion pictures and a quantity
of printed materials for information distribution, but has also largely contributed to the
field of advertisement, propaganda and promotions that has been either politically
fabricated or culturally influenced. The big screens of billboards and tarpaulins are not
only public signs but semiotic landscapes that stand for something more significant than
themselves. These are semiotic landscapes that describe the entity of a culture and the
place of its origin. These landscapes have become a part of our everyday life which
unconsciously been affecting our personal views and perceptions towards life in general.
In Marawi City, tarpaulins are everywhere. These products of the digital world have
dubbed this city as the “City of Tarpaulins.” This study is conducted through a selection of
tarpaulins posted around the city in the whole month of April 2015. The analyses of the
study were supported by Landry and Bhouris’ (1997) contribution to the social psychology
of language, Ferdinand de Saussaure’s semiotic analysis, Pierce’s classification of signs in
visual culture, Robert Barthe’s semiotic theory. The study showed the power of language
in describing cultural identity. It showed how tarpaulins have become an instrument to
understand culture as form of visual symbols and representations. It also showed the
contrasting view of culture and religion and how the people of the city seemingly embrace
the changing world. The study has paved way to an understanding of the Meranao (People
of Lake Lanao) present cultural status as influenced by outside factors such as religion and
the popular culture.

Keywords: Language and Culture, Cross-Cultural Communication, Communication

Introduction
The coming of the digital world has not only paved way to motion pictures
and a quantity of printed materials for information distribution but has also largely
contributed to the field of communication, advertisement, propaganda and promotions that
has been either politically fabricated or culturally influenced. The big screens of
advertisements we see on billboards and tarpaulins have become a part of our everyday
life which unconsciously been affecting our personal views and perceptions towards life in
general.
The tarpaulin like all other forms of media had revolutionized the
communication and entertainment media. Seeing tarpaulins everywhere in the city takes a
very vital role in making people learn the trend and be influenced by this. It is changing
the world in which texts and images are read and created. The popular culture had become
more powerful in influencing people. Through the tarpaulins people, especially the less
educated ones, get to see, praise and imitate what they see. In turn, people are misled and

their culture had become fragmented. They had created a new and altered culture brought
by the popular culture. This will then be pictured in the tarpaulins and same thing goes
with it, till the original culture could no longer be traced.
In Marawi City, tarpaulins are everywhere. These products of the digital
world have made this city cleped as the “City of Tarpaulins.”
In sociolinguistics, publications such as billboards and tarpaulins are
labeled ‘linguistic landscapes’, the term attributed to Landry and Bourhis (1997),
accompanied by the following definition that is still used by many:

‘The language of public road signs, advertising billboards, street
names, place names, commercial shop signs, and public signs on
government buildings combines to form the linguistic landscape
of a given territory, region, or urban agglomeration’ (p. 25).

Landry and Bourhis’ work is primarily concerned with the presence (or
not) of specific languages (language codes) as indices of ethnolinguistic vitality. The
tarpaulins we see along the streets are not only manifestations of the digital world but
rather a representation of the human psychology, philosophy, history and language.
Hence, these material objects are best seen as representations of individual and cultural
identity. The interpretation and evaluation of this representations are mainly influenced by
ones cultural background which includes his belief, values, norms, religion and his own
worldview. Culturally, a thing may mean significant to a particular culture but may also
mean insignificant to others.
This paper analyzes five (5) tarpaulins posted along Marawi City. Aside
from that of Landry and Bourhis’, this paper will also be guided by Ferdinand de
Saussaure’s semiotic analysis, Pierce’s classification of signs in visual culture, Robert
Barthe’s semiotic theory.
Participant-observation qualitative technique was used in the study.
Random personal interviews to people living around the city were conducted to collect
quality data.
This papers aims to unveil the cultural implications of the tarpaulins posted
around Marawi City. This aims to uncover the Meranao Culture behind the city’s tag name
“City of Tarpaulins.”
