模糊语言在广告中的运用.docx

摘要广告充斥着人们生活中的每一个角落，并时时刻刻影响着人们的社会生活。广告语言在广告的劝说性和有效性方面发挥着至关重要的作用。模糊语言作为一种语言策略是广告的一个重要特征，前人分别从文体学、符号学、话语分析法、社会语言学以及语义学等方面对其进行了分析研究。然而模棱两可作为模糊语言在交际中的语用运用在广告语言领域尚未引起学界的足够重视。鉴于此，本文试图从语用学角度出发，以七条简短的广告词为蓝本，对广告用语的四种句式即简单句，省略句，散句和疑问句进行深入细致的分析，并以Grice的会话的合作原理和Leech的礼貌原则为理论支撑来对广告用语模棱两可的现象进行阐释。AbstractAdvertising permeants our life and exerts a considerable influnce on our society.The language of advertising is of decisive importance to the persuasiveness and effectiveness of advertising. Vagueness, a strategy often used in advertising, is a remarkable feature of advertising language. So far the study on it has been approached mainly form stylistic semiotic, discoursal, socialinguistic, and semantic perspectives. However, ambivalence, which is a special kind of vagueness, has not been paid much attention to as the pragmatic use of vague language in advertising. Enlightened by this gap, this thesis attempts to comduct a systematic analysis on the use of ambivalence in commercial English advertisements from a pragmatic perspective with seven advertisements based on the theoretical frame of Cooperative Principle and Politeness Principle.Key Words：Vagueness; Cooperative Principle；Politeness Principle．模糊语言在广告中的运用引文语用学，顾名思义，研究的是语言的运用。它有别于语义学，语义学研究的是语言符号与符号所代表的事物之间的关系，而语用学则研究语言符号与符号解释者之间的关系，即把语言文字的自身意义同他们的使用者联系起来。在广告中引入语用学，将语用学的研究成果运用到广告之中，这是广告的新课题。广告除了告知功能外，更为突出的是说服和引导消费功能，这有赖于广告语言的功效。有时候为达到吸引消费者的目的，广告用语可能含有虚假、不实信息，或通过特殊的语言处理引起消费者的误解，这一切都是通过广告用语的模棱两可造成的。本文从广告用语模棱两可的现象出发，以七条简短的广告词为蓝本，对广告用语的四种句式即简单句，省略句，散句和疑问句进行深入细致的分析，并以Grice的会话的合作原理和Leech的礼貌原则为理论支撑来对广告用语模棱两可的现象进行阐释。2.广告中的模糊语言2.1 广告语言，模糊语言的定义及广告语言模糊性理论支撑2.1.1广告语言和模糊语言的定义Geis对广告语言是这样定义的：The language of advertising is language that is used in efforts to persuade or otherwiseentice people to purchase products or services,vote for particular political candidates，modify their behavior （just say ‘no！’)，or come to adopt a favorable view of somecorporate entity(We’re working to keep your trust．)．广告自身的这些特质就决定了广告用语可能通过模棱两可这种语言现象，制造一些虚假、不实信息，或通过特
