It als o makes a sentence easy t o read and me morize. Someti m es it works t o create a funny as well as witty sl ogan.W e’ll bring for ward numer ous cases t o illus2 trate it.B ritain’s best business bank.(A llied Irish Bank)D iscover the Doral difference.(Doral)Don’t drea m it.D rive it.(Jaguar)D rea m.Dare.Do.(Girl Guides)Functi onal…Fashi onable…For m idable…(Fila)Specialized staffing s oluti ons.(H ire Knowledge)Your flexible friend.(Access)Transf or m ing bathr oom s beautifully.(Dol phin)Honey well home s oluti on a wait you.(Honey well)Don’t rep lace,rest ore.(The Sash W indow Workshop)An efficient app licati on of alliterati on gives an in2 delible i m p ressi on on consu mers.W e’ll cite an exa m2 p le t o illustrate the case.The sl ogan“B ritain’s best business bank”is considered t o be a typ ical case.A ll the four words used in the sl ogan possess the sa me ini2 tial s ound.Moreover,all the four initial s ounds are stressed.I n this way,the p r ofessi onal writer creates a musical rhythm,by which consumers are very i m2 p ressed and shall bear the witty sl ogan in me mory natu2 rally.2.1.3Rhy meRhy me is nor mally used in writing poe m s.Togeth2 er with meter and f oots,rhy me is generally e mp l oyed in poe m s t o f or m a certain rhythm and har mony,as the foll o wing exa mp le shows:R ich the treasure,S weet the p leasure;(John D ryden)However,rhy me used in a single sentence still works t o f or m har mony.I n this sl ogan“It’s the V iakal fizz that does the bizz!”,the t w o words“fizz”and “bizz”obvi ously f or m a perfect rhy me:The stressed vowels are the sa me,the s ounds before the vowel are different,and the s ounds after the vowel are the sa me. W hat’s more,the sl ogan uses the tr ochaic foot.The51rhy me and the f oot e mp l oyed enable the sl ogan t o have a p leasing rhyth m,and make it a p leasure t o read it.A Mars a day hel p s you work,rest and p lay. (Mars)It’s the V iakal fizz that does the bizz!(1992) (V iakal)It’s the Andre ws fizz that does the bizz.(1996) (Andre ws Antacid)M ilk’s gotta l otta bottle.(M ilk)Soothe it a way the O raldene way.(O ralden)Savour the flav our of Belgiu m.(Flanders,Bel2 gium)Nevertheless,these sl ogans listed above have a common weak point.Thr ough attentive observati on, one may find out that the brand na me is menti oned but it does not actually rhy me.The f oll owing sl ogans may be more efficiently written.City L inking,s mart thinking.(City L ink)Don’t be vague.A sk f or Haig.(Haig Scotch)T o save and invest,talk t o Nat w est.(Nat w est Bank)It needn’t be hell with N icotinell.(N icotinell)The flavour of a Quaver is never known t o waver. (Quavers)Stay contented,get Radi o Rented.(Radi o Rent2 als)Don’t get vexed.A sk Teletext.(Teletext)Don’t just book it,Thomas Cook it.(Thomas Cook)2.2On the lexical level2.2.1Theoretical base:deliberate a mbiguity aids me moryI n sl ogans,a mbiguity is often e mp l oyed t o p ique the interest of the consumers.According t o several the2 ories of text p r ocessing,this deliberate a mbiguity may gain greater app reciati on than sl ogans e mp l oying other rhet orical means.A s pecial f or m of deliberate a mbigui2 ty is al w ays e mp l oyed t o write sl ogans.This s ort of sl o2 gans may be taken literally.The noti on of salient meaning exp lains what happens when idi omatic mean2 ing is reinter p reted int o literal meaning,t o fit the con2 text.It i m p lies that a sl ogan e mp l oying deliberate a m2 biguity nor mally have t w o meanings:literal meaning and idi omatic meaning.L iteral meaning exp lains what happens,while idi omatic meaning can only be ex2 p lained in context.This kind of a mbiguity evokes hu2 mor.An experi m ent shows that deliberate a mbiguity in sl ogans has a positive effect on app reciati on.Recogni2ti on of the a mbiguity is a str ong fact or in the app recia2 ti on of these sl ogans.2.2.2PunPun,one of rhet orical devices,is the deliberate a mbiguity in actual use.Pun refers t o the humor ous use of a word or a combinati on of words s o as t o e m2 phasize different meanings or app licati ons.Let’s illus2 trate the case with a si m p le exa mp le.“GetMore Satisfacti on.”(More)More is the na me of a cigarette company.The brand name of the company is:“More”,which has the sa me f or m and p r onunciati on with“more”,the relative for m of“many”.The p r ofessi onal writer made full use of this fact and created such a witty sl ogan.I n the sl o2 gan,the word“More”can either be comp rehended as a synony m of“extra”or just the brand name itself.I n this case,the use of deliberate a mbiguity achieved great success.The sl ogan not only i m p resses the con2 su mers with the unique character of the p r oduct,but als o gives the consu mers a credible i m p ressi on of the brand“More”.More exa mp les are given:A l w ays p ick Fl owers.(Fl owers Fine A les)Barbados.Goodness.Graci ous.(Barbado)B rilliant cleaning starts with Finish.(Finish De2 tergent)B ritish mettle.(B ritish Steel)First relati onshi p s last.(First Nati onal Bank of Chicago)Get R ich quick.(Kenco Really R ich Coffee)Get your fa m ily int o Shape,without the m even no2 ticing.(St.I vel Shape Yogurt)Is y our fil m as good as Gold?(Kodak Gold)It’asda be A sda.(A sda)No H MV,no video.(H MV)Nothing fitz like a R itz.(R itz Crackers)Nothing runs like a Deere(John Deere Tract ors)One word cap tures the moment.Mumm’s the word.(Mu mm’s Cha mpagne)Reap the re wards of Money.(Money Magazine)Send y our parcels Red Star and pull out all the st op s.(Red Star)Tetley make teabags make tea.(Tetley Tea)Surely the best tactic.(Tic Tac Candy)You just can’t hel p acting on I m pulse.(I m pulse Deodorant)I n above lines,the brand na me appears,but as the s oluti on or p r om ise rather than as part of the pun.

谈⼴告语的语⽤学及⽂体学特征谈⼴告语的语⽤学及⽂体学特征 论⽂关键词:⼴告语 语⽤学 ⽂体学 特征 论⽂摘要:⼴告由于宽⼴的覆盖率,被众⼈所认识接受。
它与⽣俱来的劝导性使它⽆论从语⾔学还是⽂体学⽅⾯,都占有⼀席之地。
其特殊的单向、延时交流⽅式,使得它具有独特的语⾔魅⼒,⼴告语⾔语⽤学的⽬的呈现性较强;其⽂体的精湛程度堪⽐唐诗宋词,短⼩精悍但饱含对购买者的强⼤⼼理冲击⼒。
博⼤精深的语⾔⽂化的活⽤引起强劲的⼼理共鸣,同时带动消费者的购买⼒,实现其语⾔⽬的。
1.引⾔ ⼴告随处可见,其已成为⼈们了解外界发展的⼀种⽅便快捷途径。
很多⼴告语由于其经典性,⽽变成⽿熟能详的流⾏语。
⼴告的延时性,决定它不是交流双⽅即时的传达反馈⽅式。
因为它不具备即时交流的⽣动形象特质,⽽经营者为了达到其交流的效果和⽬的,不得不在交流⽅式、⽅法上变更,通过对语⾔修饰及传达⽅式加⼯来达到其推销商品的⽬的。
商品经营者与消费者存在特殊的利益关系,使得商品⼴告在语⾔形式上更加考究。
⼴告语⾔的魅⼒作⽤就是⼴告的灵魂所在。
2.⼴告语的语⽤学特征 ⼴告是为了推⼴产品,说服⼈们去购买产品。
它有两⼤能⼒:⼀个是推销能⼒,⼀个是劝导能⼒。
商品在推销过程中除了图⽚、画⾯的展⽰形式的实现⽅式外,其他推销能⼒和价值作⽤基本归功于语⾔。
语⾔可以直接地介⼊思维,使思维和⼴告所要传达的意象重合或交集,这样⼴告推销商品并出售商品的过程将最终实现。
2.1⼴告语⾔的⽬的性。
⼴告语⾔是多变的,⽆论⼴告语⾔以何种形式出现,其⽬的都是为了推⼴和销售其商品。
所谓“⽬的体现在⾔内⾏为的选择和⾔外⾏为的实施上,⽽⾔后效果是⾔语⾏为的出发点和归宿,是解释语⾔⾏为形式和策略的理据”。
由此我们不难发现语⾔都是带⽬的性出现的,⽽⼴告语⾔是典型⽬的性语⾔。
⼴告的所有的⾔语⾏为都背负“⽬的”的`重担。
2.2⼴告语的合作原则。
合作原则也就是指语⾔交际中的相互合作,它遵循质的原则、量的原则、关系准则及⽅式准则。
广告的文体特点和翻译广告作为商业宣传的重要手段,经过长期的发展,逐渐形成了独特的文体特点,其文字表达形式不仅要符合商业宣传的要求,还需要具有引人注目、易于传播等特点。
本文将详细介绍广告的文体特点以及广告翻译的难点及对策。
一、广告的文体特点1. 简单明了:广告语言要简单明了,方便读者理解,尤其是广告口号的创作。
口号既要表达产品特点,也要让人印象深刻,创意独特,以便让人轻易记住并传播。
2. 鲜明突出:广告语言对产品要进行充分描写,对优点要作出鲜明的突出,把消费者置于切实的需求之下。
比如卫龙辣条的“辣味来袭,爽爆你的味蕾”。
3. 丰富多彩:广告语言通过用词或语气措辞,让读者在心理上产生一定情感共鸣,生成购买欲望。
比如迪士尼乐园的广告语“让我们在这个充满魔力的夏天,感受着幸福的气息,一家人团聚”。
语气亲切,既展示了主题特征,也让人产生热爱家庭和体验幸福的感觉。
4. 诱人性强:广告语言需要让人想买想试一下,并与竞争者的产品对比,明显地凸显产品的优势。
比如苹果手机的广告“你有没有想过你是不是应该换个更好的手机?”明显对比竞争对手,强调苹果手机的不同之处。
二、广告翻译的难点及对策1. 文化因素:广告的翻译需要考虑到语言和文化的差异,不同的语言背后有不同的文化价值观、文化体系和文化信仰。
在翻译广告的时候,要避免用尽量少的话语表达尽量多的信息,而是应该依据不同文化环境进行重新创作以符合翻译后的受众需求。
2. 易学易懂:广告翻译还需让原意易于理解、易学易懂,体现原市场的特点。
简洁、明了的广告语言,需要通过翻译后传递给目标受众,只有这样,才能以最佳的效率涵盖广告的目标受众。
3. 正确表达:广告翻译必须考虑句子长度,对缩略语、专业词汇等进行广泛涵盖,并尽起避免歧义。
比如“Coca-Cola brings you happiness”这句话要注意体现“Coca-Cola”文化价值理念以及前所未有的幸福感。
总之,广告作为商业宣传的重要方式之一,其文体特点需要在广告翻译中得到适当的体现。
学 术 论 坛242科技资讯 SC I EN C E & TE C HN O LO G Y I NF O R MA T IO N 广告标语是每一则广告中最引人注目的部分,是广告策划者为达到一定目的而提出的有鼓动作用的简洁明确的语句。
它不仅是一种商业促销手段,更是一种文化现象。
我们在许多优秀的广告中都能发现语言在其中所起的重要作用。
在特定的文化语境和情景语境下,不同的广告标语会有其各自的特色和文化含蕴。
广告标语在特定的文化语境中能起到特有的交际作用,而从语言的使用角度看,其情景语境包括语场、基调和方式。
广告标语中,语场指广告这一社会活动的特点及其语言所谈及或描述的内容;基调指广告标语撰写者的行为特点和所处社会地位、角色等;方式指广告标语在广告这一交际活动中所起的渠道作用。
语场体现了广告标语的概念功能;基调体现了广告标语的人际功能;而方式则体现了广告标语的语篇功能。
下面从广告标语的语言表现手法谈谈标语的语言艺术,浅析广告语篇如何在特定的文化语境和情景语境中达到预想的效果。
1 广告标语的语言表现手法标语要追求理想的表达效果就必须运用恰当的语言手段。
运用恰当的语言表现手法可以使广告标语更深入人心,从而达到推销产品的目的,激发消费者的购买欲望。
下面从语音、语词、语句三个方面谈谈标语中语言表现手法的运用。
1.1声音的巧妙配合汉语是一种富有音乐性的语言,如果运用得当,往往能达到超乎寻常的效果。
好的广告标语善于运用音韵的一致或是协调来增强其声音美,让人印象深刻,留下持久的记忆。
例如,“要想胃舒,请服胃苏”(胃药广告)。
巧妙的押韵使标语读起来朗朗上口,悦耳动听,便于记忆。
再例如,“一旦拥有,别无所求”(手表广告)。
音节对应,结构整齐,形式美观,同样让人不易忘记。
1.2词语的巧妙运用广告标语是由词语组成的,词语运用得是不是准确贴切,直接影响到广告的表达效果。
广告标语中词语的巧用之处有很多,下面仅举出以下两种:1.2.1词语的仿用。
浅析从文体学视角探究英语广告文体学,一译风格学,现大都译为文体学。
它是一门研究文本体裁的特征、本质及其规律,介于语言学、文艺学、美学、心理学等学科之间,方兴未艾的综合性边缘学科。
它正处于开展、完善的阶段。
但目前学术界对文体学的定义及其内涵的理解还从说不一,概括起来主要有三种观点。
现代广告已渗透到人们生活的各个方面,成为人们社会生活的一个重要组成局部。
著名广告文案专家大卫·奥格威有句众人皆知的名言:“广告的目的在于销售,否那么便不是广告。
”可见其实质均是为了引起人们的注意,刺激消费者的购置欲。
英语广告也是如此,本文拟从文体学视角探究英语广告的语言特点,从词汇、语法、修辞方面分析英语广告的特点,使群众对其有更深入的认识与了解。
评价性形容词( eva luative adjectives) 和描述性形容词( descriptive adjectives )的广泛使用。
普遍情况下,为了向公众更好的描述产品,广告语使用大量形容词,诸如beautiful, good, delicious, smooth, gentle等。
在描述形容词使用中少不了褒义词和短语描述推销的产品。
为了描绘甚至夸耀广告中所推销的商品,广告英语中的形容词经常以最高级的形式出现, 有时也以比拟级的形式出现, 以便到达比拟、鉴别的目的。
如:Persil washes whiter and it shows. ( Persil洗涤广告)。
人称代词在英语广告中也很常见,特别是You 和We, 使得广告语言更亲切、生动,拉近了与消费者的间隔,如We don’t just want you to clean your teeth. We want to help you keep them. (牙膏)英语广告中特有的词汇使用是词缀法,许多用“super”作前缀, 用“ex”作后缀构成的词, 具夸张意味,例Windex (擦窗清洁剂名) , Purex (漂泊剂名) 。
