The study explores English is being exercised by a Bangladeshi society especially in its visibly written form. Linguistic landscape is an important phenomenon as it gives a visual representation of a city’s language.

The findings also demonstrate the visual representation of English in various domains. Selective photos which represent linguistic landscape of the city are analyzed with the backdrop of socio-linguistic and socio-cultural aspects. Those photos were mostly clicked in person within a time-lag (2019-2020). It features the words, textual language, images, both signs and symbols exposed in public.
