Abstract

This research aims to describe the language function of the linguistic landscape found at the Medan train station. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method obtained through observation, interviews and documentation techniques. The linguistic landscape at the Medan train station has its own characteristics. The information function is related to people's identity and provides benefits. This study is able to find patterns of language use in generating symbolic and informational functions in the linguistic landscape. The dominance of monolingual Indonesian can make it easier for the people of medan to interpret the billboards displayed. Apart from that, the role of the displayed logos is to emphasize the message or text conveyed by the author. However, the role of the symbolic side of billboards at the Medan city train station is still lacking, this is influenced by the level of people's mindset and attention to the role of the linguistic landscape.
