Abstract
Advertisements can be seen everywhere in our daily life now. A special, vivid and creative advertisement can always attract people’s attention and it can show the merits of the products intuitively. Up to now, many scholars have studied advertising language from different angles for a long time, such as the semiotics, the stylistics, the pragmatics, the discourse analysis, the functional linguistics and so on. Through collecting relevant materials, the author finds that grammatical metaphor can be applied to advertising language to make the advertising language more excellent and endow the products with stronger competitiveness. This paper chooses the theory of grammatical metaphor in systemic-functional linguistics which was firstly presented by Halliday in 1985 as the basis to simply analyze the functions of grammatical metaphor in English advertisements.
This paper consists of three parts. It firstly introduces some researches about grammatical metaphor of many scholars including Halliday and the reason why the theory of Halliday is chosen to be the theoretical basis of this paper. Then it simply states the basic knowledge of advertisements, including the definition, the categories, the language features and the functions. The third chapter elaborates the application and functions of ideational metaphor and interpersonal metaphor in English advertisements. And it analyzes the persuasive function of grammatical metaphor in advertising language in detail.
Key words: English advertisements; grammatical metaphor; function
