4. Significance of the study
The role of advertising in the modern economy is becoming more and more
significant and more money is spent on advertising. In addition to the global
-
economic crisis, companies are increasingly calling for accountability in all areas of
their expenditure which obviously includes advertising campaigns. As advertising
represents a substantial cost, evidence is required to make sure that the spending is
justified. Therefore, the need for investigating how to maximize the effectiveness of
advertising is increasing. Recently, there have been a lot of studies examining the
advertising strategies and effects. However, very few studies have paid attention to
the linguistic features of the advertisement – in this case, repetition (rhetorical
devices) - which is supposed to make a great contribution to the success of
advertisements. Furthermore, among many different types of advertising media
such as leaflet, poster, billboard, radio, television, Internet, etc., newspaper and
magazine, which are considered as an old way of advertising, has played a very
important role in the advertising industry in general. According to the book named
Serious Effective Advertising, the fact that fifty-seven percent of adults in the U.S.
read a daily newspaper and sixty-seven percent read a Sunday paper; an average of
45 minutes per day are spent on reading at least one newspaper or magazine and
even more than an hour is spent on Sunday has proved the essential role of
newspaper and magazine in daily lives, thus making them one of the most powerful
media of advertising. In fact, there have been many researchers studying about the
use of rhetorical devices in advertising, for example Tom and Eves (1999),
McQuarrie and Mick (1996), etc. Nevertheless, there have been few researches
discussing the application of repetition which is one of the most significant
linguistic features in advertising language (Vasiloaia, 2002) as well as its effects on
advertising. As a result, the study is conducted with the hope of thoroughly
investigating the use and effects of repetition in English newspaper advertisements.
