1. Introduction
Advertisement originates from the Latin word “Advertere” which means attention, induction and transmission. The basic function of advertisement is to spread information about some product or service. The famous “AIDCA” formula in advertising tells us that the aim of advertisement is to firstly arouse consumers’ “Attention” and “Interest”, then to stimulate their “Desire” of purchasing with “Conviction’, and finally lead to “Action”. Advertisement is a key factor in building the brands and credit of some products. In the meantime, its influence on the preference of some particular products is vital. With the development of media, advertisement plays a more and more effective role in people’s daily life. Thus it is essential that a good and catchy advertising slogan have a flowing aesthetic feeling. Advertising language is not merely commercialized but also artistic and communicative. As a kind of commercial language, advertising language has gradually formed a unique style and feature. By the use of concise phrases, abundant implication, proper figures of speech, the advertisement will achieve the effect of spreading the information concerning the product, fostering a good product image, and stimulating consumption.
