Human beings have interactional nature، and with the passage of time، always try to present their ideas، expectations، and worldviews to the humanity. In the past، since the mass media was not easily accessible to everyone، graffiti was considered a powerful tool for transmitting thoughts and inclinations. In other words، as graffiti is affected by a specific line of thinking، it is possible to follow linguistic and cultural patterns. The current paper tries to investigate the existing common linguistic patterns in English and Persian graffiti in order to understand their social and behavioral patterns better. The research findings show that graffiti follow a distinguished linguistic pattern and are systematic، in a way that they can be compared with seven linguistic functions of Halliday. By systematic، it means that the graffiti can be analyzed through linguistic and cultural frameworks. However، the results showed that there are some differences in English and Persian graffiti. In Persian graffiti، instrumental، imaginative، and interactional designs are frequent. The research analysis that has been conducted in the social domain verifies the existence of such features in the East. In English graffiti، too، personal and regulatory functions more frequent than the Persian ones and these differences are also related to cultural indices of the two languages.
