Furthermore, the daily conversation is also strongly influenced by advertising language. In this research, schema theory is employed to analyze the graphological, phonological, lexical, grammatical and discoursal features of the advertising language and the cognitive change they bring about among the audience, aiming at helping the consumers have a better understanding of advertisements and helping the designers produce better works.展开更多

In order to have a more detailed analysis of the distinctions between tabloids and broadsheets, the author gives an analysis from the three significant parts of newspapers, namely: headline, lead, and body. Through exemplifications and logical analysis, it is found that different newspapers adopt various styles, sentence structures, geography, and words so as to cater to readers of diverse tastes and preferences.展开更多

All changes and new things,brought by them,are most represented in mass media,including magazines,newspapers,TV,radios and etc. In reality,many learners have found that news English from journalistic materials has its own unique features,which seemingly do not meet with general English principles. The more popular dailies use a chatty,slangy,up-to-the moment way of writing,the more bewildered feeling they giving the foreign reader. Therefore,it is necessary to know more about journalistic English. This paper simply presents an analysis of the stylistic features on journalistic English,Analyzing them through three levels: the graphological features,the lexical features,and the syntactic features.展开更多

In the former period, the poets depend largely on semantic deviation to juxtapose absent and abstract images with readers'familiar and concrete images. In the collision of the images, the readers may sense the beauty of the images and the poets'imagination."Jacobsen points out that the transition from the Modernism to post Modernism is a transition from metaphoric language to metonymic language."(Brooks, 2004) In the later imagist poems, the language becomes metonymic but the uses of metaphor dose not disappear in the poems. The later imagist poets depend on graphological deviation, using language symbols to present the images so as to make the readers feel a different beauty.展开更多
