Functional Potential of Multilingual Text in Urban Space: a Linguistic-Semiotic Perspective by O. A. Alimuradov, M. A. Gorbunova

“…The authors describe the ontology of graffiti in the urban environment through a series of important dichotomies: visibility / invisibility, performance / risk / art, and sanction/unsanction. The functions of graffiti are also examined in detail, including their integrative-identifying function, self-presentation function, protest function, subversive function, and advertising / propaganda function. …”
