Description
Were it not for the illustration indicating that Peluqueria Jocelyn's offers haircuts, non-Spanish speakers would be largely excluded from interacting with this sign. The presence of English is subtle, found only as a possessive clitic in "Jocelyn's". Spanish influence, on the other hand, is found in the word "peluqueria" (hairdresser's) and in the syntax. Unlike in English, third person possessors in Spanish (without the use of determiners) are preceded by the possessed (e.g., PeluquerĂa de Jocelyn).
