Keywords: linguistic landscape; multimodality; commercial (shop) signs; valuation

Summary/Abstract: Drawing on the broad semiotic approach to urban space and the so-called linguistic landscape studies, the subject of the following analysis is commercial (shop) signs in the urban space of Rzeszów as minimal multimodal texts with an informational, attention-getting and persuasive function. The analysis concentrates on the lexical, visual and typo/graphic means used – despite formal and cognitive/communicative constraints – to directly or implicitly express (positive) value judgements about the products and services offered.
