1. Introduction
What does the word “advertising” mean? There are many answers to this question. In fact, “advertising” originally comes from the Latin word “adverto”, which means “pay attention to” and “to inform somebody of something”. This explanation attaches the important function to advertising, which is bringing information to the public and drawing the public’s attention to manufactured goods, services, entertainments etc. Advertising aims to draw people’s attention and stimulate their interests to purchase goods. In order to achieve this goal, the language applied in advertising must be short, concise and easy to understand; vivid, attractive and persuasive. So far advertising English has developed into a very important practical style, and has its own language features. Leech (1966), regarded this language style as sub-literary genre in English in advertising.
