When we watch TV in the comfort of our living rooms, we are bombarded with ads; when we read a newspaper or magazine, somehow our attention is distracted by one form of an ad or another. On our way to school or office, we come across ads in various shapes or colors. Indeed, advertising, whether print, broadcast, or any other type, is part of our everyday lives.",

"text": "It is no wonder then that advertising discourse has attracted the attention of scholars in over two decades. Simpson (2001) acknowledges that there has been \"an enormous upsurge of interest in the linguistic and discoursal characteristics of advertising\" (p. 589), adding that the studies conducted have been anchored on different traditions and perspectives, such as cognitive, cultural and anthropological, genre and register analysis, critical discourse analysis, and linguistic pragmatics (Simpson, 2001, p. 590) . In recent years, research has focused on reader effects of poetic and rhetorical elements in ads from a relevance-theoretic perspective. For instance, van Mulken, van Enschot-van Dijk, and Hoeken (2005) aimed to find out whether slogans in ads are appreciated more than slogans without a pun, and whether puns containing two relevant interpretations are appreciated more than puns containing only one relevant interpretation (p. 707). To do this, 68 participants rated their appreciation of 24 slogans. The results showed that the presence or absence of puns had a significant impact on the respondents' appreciation of the slogans. Furthermore, whether the pun contained two relevant interpretations or only one did not influence the extent to which they were considered funny, but the former were considered a better choice than the latter (van Mulken, van Enschot-van Dijk, and Hoeken, 2005) . Lagerwerf (2007) , on the other hand, examined the effects on audiences of irony in ads and of sarcasm in public information announcements. Two studies were conducted. Sixty students took part in the first study, with stimuli consisting of 12 magazine ads, six of which were positively formulated and six negatively. In the second, there were 40 students who participated in the experiment, with stimuli consisting of ads that were partly based on the researcher's own designs and partly on actual ads. In advertisements for commercial products and services, irony was found in the use of negative captions where positive captions were expected. Sarcasm was used by placing a positive caption against a background displaying a harrowing picture. Such departures from common practice in the use of negative and positive wordings were regarded as inappropriate. It turned out that advertisements with ironic intent were appreciated more when the inappropriateness was re-interpreted correctly as irony (Study 1). Even so, irony and sarcasm may impede a proper understanding of the advertisements' informative intention. This has a negative impact on the assessment by an audience of the importance of the societal issues emphasized in sarcastic announcements (Study 2) (Lagerwerf, 2007) .",

(2001) analyzed the metadiscourse devices typically used by ad copywriters to construct their slogans and/or headlines. The researchers' analysis proceeded from the assumption that advertising English should be represented as a continuum of text functions fluctuating between \"informing\" and \"manipulating\" in accordance with the idea that advertising is an example of covert communication. Based on an examination of ads from a women's magazine, they concluded that both textual and interpersonal metadiscourse devices help copywriters to convey a persuasive message under an informative mask (Fuertes-Olivera, et al., 2001 ).",

"text": "The present study seeks to contribute to the ongoing interest in describing the discourse of advertising. In particular, it aims to describe magazine ads in the Philippines in terms of their generic structures and linguistic properties, including speech acts performed by utterances. The study is anchored on Simpson's (2001) 'reason'-'tickle' binary distinction between types of advertising discourse, which expands Bernstein's (1974) proposal. In Simpson's view, 'reason' ads are those which suggest a motive or reason for purchase. Furthermore, these ads follow a basic discourse pattern and the corresponding conjunctive adjuncts -conditional, causal, and purposive -which realize the pattern. This pattern parallels the notion of generic structure) (see discussion of generic structure below). 'Tickle' ads, by contrast, are those which appeal to humor, emotion and mood. Unlike reason ads which are stable in terms of structure and whose language is straightforward, 'tickle' ads are indirect, and therefore need the reader's inferencing strategies to figure out what they convey (Simpson, 2001) . Figure 1 locates the 'reason'-'tickle' construct within three well-known pragmatic models: Grice Brown Sperber (1975) & Levinson & Wilson (1987) (Simpson, 2001, p. 593) In looking at the generic structure of print ads as texts, the study proceeds from the assumption that an ad is a genre, defined here as \"a class of communicative events, the members of which share some set of communicative purposes. These purposes are recognized by the expert members of the parent discourse community, and thereby constitute the rationale for the genre\" (Swales, 1990, pp. 45-58) . The unit of genre analysis is rhetorical move (or simply move), a functional unit (Halleck and Connor, 2006, p. 72) or a semantic unit related to the writer's purpose (Hassan, 2008, p. 39) , which has been used by several genre-analytic studies. These include research that has focused on academic texts like research article introductions (e.g. Swales, 1990 ) and on professional texts such as sales letters (e.g. Bhatia, 1993) .",

"text": "Taking its cue from Simpson (2001) The linguistic properties used in this paper are based on features which were found by Lakoff (1982) and Geis (1982) to have been possessed by advertisements, which, in turn, were used by Schmidt and Kess (1986) in characterizing televangelism. Among these properties are linguistic novelty, repetition of names, adjectivalization processes, and imperative structures. In addition, the description of noun phrases, especially their pre-modification structures, has been influenced by Rush's (1998) characterization of the complexity of NPs in the ads. Finally, codeswitching patterns in the ads are described in terms of Dayag (2002) , which differentiates between inter-sentential code-switching, intra-sentential code-switching, and tag switching, using the terminology of Poplack (1980) .",

"text": "Drawing upon the works of , the present study also analyzes the speech acts performed by utterances in the ads. Specifically, it uses taxonomy of illocutionary acts consisting of five general types, namely, assertives (representatives), directives, commissives, declarations, and expressives. Huang (2007) defines assertives as \"those kinds of speech act that commit the speaker to the truth of the expressed proposition, and thus carry a truth-value. They express the speaker's belief\" (Huang, 2007, p. 106) . Examples are \"asserting, claiming, concluding, reporting, and stating\" (Huang, 2007, p. 106) . In this study, an assertive generally takes the form of a claim, which is \"an assertion, statement or implication (as of value, effectiveness, qualification, eligibility) which predicates a past or present event and whose justification is not readily verifiable\" (Schmidt and Kess, 1986, p. 49) . Directives, on the other hand, are \"those kinds of speech act that represent attempts by the speaker to get the addressee to do something,\" and they include \"advice, commands, orders, questions, and requests\" (Huang, 2007, p. 107) . Commissives \"commit the speaker to some future course of action,\" and \"offers, pledges, promises, refusals, and threats\" are some examples (Huang, 2007, p. 107) . Declarations (or declaratives) \"effect immediate changes in some current state of affairs\" (Huang, 2007, p. 108) . Also called institutionalized performatives, declarations include \"bidding in bridge, declaring war, excommunicating, firing from employment, and nominating a candidate\" (Huang, 2007, p. 108) . Lastly, expressives \"express a psychological attitude or state in the speaker such as joy, sorrow, and likes/dislikes\" (Huang, 2007, p. 107) . Examples include \"apologizing, blaming, congratulating, praising, and thanking\" (Huang, 2007, p. 107) .",

More Energy Everyday) brought about by the absence of subjects and verbal auxiliaries. The absence of subjects and auxiliaries has been described by Lakoff (1982) as one type of syntactic innovation found in her study of television advertising, which is a characteristic shared by televangelists (Schmidt and Kess, 1986) . This is the same property of newspaper ads found by Dayag (1999) . That these ads contain sentence fragments may be explained in relevance-theoretic terms.

"text": "The last preferred generic structure begins with the reasons for buying, followed by positive benefits, which could roughly be deemed as equivalent to the Cause-Effect structure, the second of the three 'reason' ads identified by Simpson (2001) . In (12) the first sentence describes the cause of the problem or the reason for buying the product, whereas the succeeding sentences give the solution and cite positive benefits from buying the product. Note the use of \"that's why\" in (12), which is used in cause-effect texts. One way of looking at the above data is to treat the ads in this corpus as 'reason' ads. This is because, as Simpson (2001) puts it, the ads follow a stable discourse pattern, as borne out by Table 1 . In addition, apart from the fact that all of them include the name of the product and/or company, mostly accompanied by a logo, their language is straightforward, with none of them appealing to the emotion and with all of them highlighting product features and positive benefits. In other words, none of them may be considered 'tickle' ads. This preference for reason-oriented campaign by copywriters when advertising medicines, vitamins and food supplements, and cosmetic/beauty/personal hygiene products, may be explained by several factors. Simpson (2001) posits that the most significant is the nature of the product advertised, thus:",

First, the study found that the ads follow certain generic structures and that these structures are realized linguistically. In other words, there are linguistic correlates with respect to the discourse structure of the print ads. For instance, we have seen that the move Creating a Need is minimally marked by imperative structures and/or rhetorical questions. Corollary to this is the idea that the ads adopt predictable and stable (rather than rigid or fixed) generic structures or discourse patterns, and that linguistic features are ascribed to them. That they share these properties appears to make them 'reason' (instead of 'tickle') ads, going by Simpson's (2001) typology of ads.

"text": "First of all, the relationship between copywriter and reader in print advertising is not always smooth, with the latter skeptical about the real intentions of ads. This is because in advertising in general, \"communication takes place in a context where cooperation between sender and addressee is not at all guaranteed and this factor hinders the communicative process\" (Duran Martinez, 2005, p. 85 ). Owing to their constant exposure to ads and their corresponding layout and textual elements (e.g. headline, slogan), they are immediately aware of the ads' aim, namely, \"to persuade their audience to buy a certain product and not a similar one\" (Duran Martinez, 2005, p. 85 ). Because of this particular cognitive environment on the part of the reader, advertisers resort to \"discourse strategies\" (Fuertes-Olivera, et al., 2001 , p. 1295 or \"persuasive devices\" (Duran Martinez, 2005, p. 85) . As borne out by the present study, these include a preference for generic structures as well as linguistic features such as sentence fragments, code-switching, rhetorical questions, and imperatives. These strategies are necessary because advertisers know that a persuasive message needs to be under an \"informative mask so that the receiver gets a delusive impression of a referential message\" (Fuertes-Olivera, et al., 2001 , p. 1295 . This is the bottom line of covert communication. As Duran Martinez (2005) puts it, as cooperation and trust are really low at the social level, the advertiser knows that revealing his informative intention -selling a product in order to make a profit -would have an adverse effect on its fulfillment. Covert communication also makes the audience become more involved in the process of communication, inviting them to spend a certain amount of time in processing the utterance of the [advertisement] (p. 87).",
