    There are several ways that language of advertising differs from other kinds of language. Language of advertising is always simple and short because people do not have the patient to think and listen to a long and complicated advertisement. Also, using simple language also can help advertisers to target to variety groups of people. For example applying the Fox Index equation, we can tell which group of people (with different age and education level) can understand the advertisement. Not only do language of advertising is simple and short, but also it repeats a lot. According to Answer.Com, “the average person needs to hear something twenty times before they truly learn it.” The advertisers want their slogan to play repetitively in consumer’s mind and convince people to use their service or buy their products. Advertisements also use well-known celebrities to represent their products, so people can relate themselves more to the products because people want to be as famous and beauty as those celebrities. Another characteristic of language of advertising that I can think of is that it use ethos and pathos appeal more than logical appeal. In other words, advertisements try to move people emotional with stories and other…

    Advertising is extremely important to the success of a product being sold. Willifood advertises its apple chips in an intriguing way. In this advertisement, the first thing viewers are drawn to is the cartoon man standing in a dark room, creating an antagonistic emotion toward this man. He is overweight, middle aged, and is portrayed to have a belly that looks like a cheeseburger. His clothing does not fit him, causing his stomach to fall out of the clothes, creating the illusion of a hamburger patty. The layers in which he wears his undersized t-shirts forms the impression, to the viewers, of a sesame seed bun, a tomato, and a slice of cheese. The man’s hands are positioned in a way that he seems to be holding his stomach like he would a cheeseburger and has a huge grin on his face expressing his desire to eat his own cheeseburger belly. In the bottom right corner of the print ad is the actual product in its original packaging and displays the message of the ad with a slogan that reads: “Don’t treat your body like junk.” Willifood sells its product to unhealthy eaters by diverting their attention to the message the ad portrays, instead of the product, resulting in the shift of attention back to the apple chips.…

    ‘Advertising’ the word originated from the Latin word ‘adverto’, which means to turn around. The root of advertising can be found in ancient times such as ancient Egyptian used papyrus to make sales messages and wall posters, commercial messages and political campaign found in the ruins of Pompeii and ancient Arabia, lost and found advertising on papyrus in ancient Greece and Rome, wall painting for commercial advertising in ancient India (Mogel, 1993). Advertising defined by Belch & Belch (2004) as a paid form of communication through nonpersonal components such as T.V, radio, newspaper and magazines about an organization, product, service or idea by an identified sponsor; likewise Kumar & Mittal (2002) defined advertising as controlled, identifiable information of products, services to persuade customers through mass communication media. Therefore, from it can be said that advertising basically aims to create awareness through popularisation of the products among customers and persuade them to purchase it. But the common debate today is that, how advertising works? Fill (1999) suggested two polarised views regarding this subject: the first is referred to strong theory of advertising and the second one is referred as weak theory of advertising. In this essay, these two theories are discussed thoroughly to understand how advertising works; furthermore some models of each of the theory are also discussed to extend the understanding. Finally comparisons between the theories are drawn to generate a proper conclusion of ‘Strong’ and ‘Weak’ theory debate of advertising.…

    Advertising is as old as commercial popular culture, and viewing older ads can tell us a great deal about past eras and our own. One thing revealed by studying older ads is the ways in which aesthetic styles change over time. Fro example, it is clear once avant garde techniques become domesticated over time such that some shocking bit of 1930 surrealism is now seamlessly accepted into an ad for a mainstream cleaning product or automobile. Or note how, on the one hand most advertising has become less verbal and more visual free association, while on the other hand the rise of the mute button has led to an increasing amount of written language in TV…
