Abstract

The goal of this study is to determine the parallels and divergences between advertising texts by examining how well language tools work to draw readers' attention to contemporary English advertisements. This study's scientific novelty lies in its attempt to compare English advertising texts using linguistic and structural characteristics as a lens. The analysis of lexical tools in advertising text expression is presented in this article. The extralinguistic, functional, and linguistic components of advertising style are recognized through the analysis of lexical units. Using English advertising texts from radio, newspapers, magazines, and television, we examined the impact of language on the creation of advertising slogans. In terms of lexical expressive devices, alliteration, metaphor, and visualization were the most frequently used in both languages. These instruments boost the efficacy of the advertising text by drawing the recipient's attention to the benefits of the promoted product.
