简介

The language of advertising has been the subject of numerous studies in different disciplines although relatively little work has been done from the perspective of semiotics and linguistics. This book provides, for the first time, a linguistic analysis of advertising within the framework of Relevance Theory, a stimulating new approach in the domain of pragmatics, the branch of linguistics which studies how language is used. The key aspects of Relevance Theory are set out and explored in the book, and are then applied to the language of written advertising in Britain and Japan, illustrated by contrastive advertisements drawn from the two countries. Keiko Tanaka offers an analysis of the linguistic devices that are used in advertisements, and looks at the strategems which advertisers employ to gain and retain theattention of their audience. Particular emphasis is placedon 'covert communication', and puns and metaphors, and thebook contains an unusual insight into images of women in Japanese advertising.
