Abstract
Advertisements are unavoidable and ubiquitous. We encounter them on television and the
radio, in newspapers and magazines, on billboards, in public transport vehicles and mailboxes, on
mobile phones or on websites we visit on the Internet. The aim of this paper is to examine linguistic
features and marketing strategies used by advertisers to attract and hold consumers’ attention, make
them remember advertisements and encourage them to buy advertised products. This paper discusses
the way advertisers, using the advertising discourse, manipulate consumers’ opinions, beliefs and
behaviour. Starting from previous research of the advertising discourse, this paper shows the results
of the analysis of the most important linguistic features as well as marketing strategies for addressing
consumers used in TV commercials broadcast on four Serbian TV channels – TV Prva, RTS 1, TV B92
/ 02 and TV Pink, from March 2016 to September 2019. The analysis is based on the theoretical principles
of Critical Discourse Analysis.
Key words
Advertising discourse, TV advertisements, Marketing, Manipulation.
