1.1 Background of the study探讨背景
In the developmental process of the progressively flourish of mass media, advertisingis becoming an essential topic in practical study. The key issue for advertisers tounderstand is how to attract the intention of the audiences, as well as to arouse theirinterest and desire to buy the particular product. This is called AIDA for short which refersto attention, interest, desire and action. Moreover, with the achievement of successfuladvertisement, commercial advertising, apart from its persuasive function, has enrichedthe contextual cognition and set up models for audiences to catch commercial intensions.All these successful samples have brought unprecedented influence in bothcommunication and interpretation by means of employing various language skills.Correspondingly, advertising language deserves urgent necessity and popularity to bestudied from different aspects.

Grice (1975: 298) suggestshyperbole is a pragmatic rhetorical phenomenon by means of breaking the maxims ofcooperative principle. Later many linguists make their researches throughmultidisciplinary studies including cognitive psychology, philosophy, semiotics, andhermeneutics.Relevance theory was first proposed by French philosopher Dan Sperber and Britishlinguist Deirdre Wilson in 1986 in their book Communication and Cognition. This theorysuggests that communicator relates his immediate context with relevance in order to makeeffective utterance; audience sets up a series of hypothesis to find the most proper one asoptimal relevance (Wilson & Sperber, 1986/1995: 568). Later, relevance theory is appliedin various fields such as literature, translation, interpretation, discourse analysis, andrhetoric. Particularly, the research on hyperbol,英语论文网站 |
