When individuals acquire the spatial consumption experience, they also attribute meaning and connotations to the space during the consumption process, implying an integration between geographical space and place experience. In recent years, sociolinguistic research has presented new ways to examine the linguistic, semiotic, and sensory aspects of these prosaic spaces. Integrating these perspectives in a geo-semiotic framework, this paper examines the linguistic landscapes of two chain supermarkets in Wuhou District of Chengdu. Through field records, interviews, and participant observations, it is found that each supermarket embodies a unique configuration of the geo-semiotic aggregate, influencing the place experience and consumption decisions of individuals. Thus, this paper suggests that situated analyses of the linguistic landscapes in supermarkets can contribute to a better understanding of the interaction between individuals and spaces of consumption.展开更多
