The functions of advertising and its language

Up to now, advertising has fully developed. It’s very crucial not only to consumers, but also to social development. It performs three basic roles in society.



  1. Marketing role-helping companies sell their products or services

To the producers, advertising provides the chances of promoting the products or services, communicating with the consumers and developing the business, which does much good to economic development.

  1. Educational role-helping people learn about new products and services

As consumers, we can get information of the world from advertisement. Then it performs the educational role. We can compare the products or services of one brand with another from which we can make our choices.

  1. Social role-helping increase productivity and raise the standard of living

To the society, advertising can accelerate the growth of economy, and thus improve the standard of living. It also promotes the mass-media and gives the society very rich cultural meaning.
In order to fulfill these roles, advertising may have various forms and strategies to stimulate the sale of products. It has resorted to all kinds of techniques –– audio-visual, sound and light, display and acting, photographs and drawing and so on. But its language plays the most important role. Language is the most important tool of human communication. Language serves as an effective tool in persuading and influencing the audience, and, most important, in doing the selling.
According to Leech (1978:47-50), as a tool for communication, language has five functions. First, language has the informative function to convey information to people through words, expressions or gestures. It also has the expressive function to express human feelings, attitudes, etc. The directive function of language enables us to influence the behavior or attitudes of others, such as commands and requests. The aesthetic function is used for the sake of linguistic artifact itself. Last but not least, language has the phatic function to keep social relationships in good repair. All the different kinds of functions of language are highly effective in advertising. For example, the informative and expressive functions are used in advertising to convey the messages about the products or services, while the directive function influences the attitudes and behaviors of consumers and persuade them to purchase the products or enjoy the services.
In short, the functions of language in communication play crucial roles in the linguistic strategies of advertisements. There’re also some basic principles of advertising language. And thus, the advertising language forms its own style and characteristics.
