Abstract
This study aims to explore the linguistic landscape of the European Zone, a notable area within Kota Lama Surabaya recognized for its rich Dutch history and heritage. The research addresses three primary questions: (1) How is the linguistic landscape presented in the European Zone? (2) How are top-down and bottom-up linguistic elements represented in the European Zone? (3) What are the functions of the linguistic landscape within the European Zone? This research employs an explanatory sequential mixed-method approach to identify the dominant language, analyze top-down and bottom-up linguistic elements, and interpret interview findings. Data were collected through both observation and interviews. The researcher observed and documented public signs, including street names, shop names, places names, road signs, advertisement billboards, and information boards within the European Zone. To determine language dominance, these signs were categorized as monolingual, bilingual, or multilingual. The analysis proceeded by examining the top-down and bottom-up linguistic elements, further categorizing them into monolingual, bilingual, or multilingual groups. Additionally, transcripts from interviews with various stakeholders—including tour guides, jeep and Tourwagen officers, information center staff, visitors, and traders—were analyzed to gather reliable insights into the factors influencing language diversity in the European Zone.The study identified 273 public signs with the specification that information boards (30%) is in the first position and advertisement billboard (6%) in the last position. The European Zone of Kota Lama Surabaya also presented Indonesian, English, Dutch, Tionghoa, Japanese, Javanese, and Madurese. Indonesian emerged as the dominant monolingual language, accounting for (55%) of the signs. For bilingual signs, Indonesian-Dutch and Indonesian-English were equally prominent, each representing (14%). Among multilingual signs, Javanese-Dutch-Indonesian appeared most frequently, comprising (2%) of the total. The analysis revealed 187 top-down signs, with Indonesian (47%), Indonesian-Dutch (20%), and Javanese-Indonesian-Dutch (3%) occupying the top positions. Conversely, 86 bottom-up signs were identified, with Indonesian dominating at (72%), Indonesian-English at (6%), and Dutch-Javanese-Indonesian-English being the sole multilingual combination, representing (1%). The study also uncovered five primary functions of language diversity in the European Zone: showcasing identity, promoting multilingualism, providing historical education,facilitating language commodification, and preserving language, heritage, and history.
