1 CHAPTER! INTRODUCTION l.l Background of Study Advertising has already been an ordioory cirrumstance in our daily life. We seem to be surrounded by advertisement wherever we go. It has already become a public necessity. The definition of Advertising, based on the Principles of Advertising: A Global Perspective is "a commercial and non-personal communication about an organization and its products which transmitted to a target market through a mass media, for example television, radio, magazines, direct mail, outdoor ad»ertisement, or public vehicle. " (Jolrnson & Lee, 1999: 3) 2 There are several elements on advertisements, "which are the headline or display line; the illustration or image; the body copy or text; the theme line or slogan, trade character, seal, and ather marks; and the logotype or signature. " (l\1andell, 1984: 448) In this paper the writer analyzes advertisement slogan from the stylistic features to see how it is used in slogans. Before the writer discusses it further, it will be better if we know the meaning of "Advertisement Slogan". And the explanation of stylistic feature will be discussed in Chapter 2. The aim of the advertisement is to persuade or influence audience in choosing a product Therefore an advertisement should be eye-catching to get the attention of the audience. The text of the advertisement, in this case the slogan, should be unique, simple, memorable and selling. What is meant by a slogan according to Felton (1992) in the Advertising: Concept and Copy is "the phrase or sentence which, often cleverly, identifies the product or corporation; it often appears at ad's end next to the logotype." (p. 158) Advertising slogans are claimed to be, and often proved to be, the most effective and successful means of drawing attention to one or more aspects of products. A slogan is said to be eftective and successful if public accepts it, and most importantly if the slogan achieves the aim of the advertisement. The discussion about the aim of the advertisement will be discussed in chapter two. An effective use of words in advertisement slogaus is rather uncommon, it is unusual use in the society by the public ar,d sometime advertisers create their own words, for example the slogan of SKI Fruit: "FruitiW!. YogurtU'I. Delicia." But slogans 3 often use logical fallacies to draw attention of the audiences. The tricks of their success are based on their choice of words to make the slogan memorable. The slogan should have the ability to make it be recalled unaided. Generally, the slogan is more memorable if it has a certain pattern, either in the sound or structure. This pattern can be in a form of rhyme, alliteration or coined words. In this paper the writer analyzes advertisement slogans to classify them. The analysis will be based on the stylistic features of the slogan. What is meant by stylistic features is rhyme, alliteration, and coined words, which are used in the advertisement slogans.
