E- and Smart-: Discourse of Selling, Promoting and Advertising Technology
Tichý, Martin ; Šťastná, Dagmar (oponent) ; Kotásek, Miroslav (vedoucí práce)
With a growing and often over-saturated market for digital technology many businesses face a challenge of retaining and acquiring customers. A successful marketing campaign, which has become a vital part of introducing new products to the market, can help achieve this goal. In this bachelor’s thesis relevant materials from different communication channels have been collected and further analyzed in terms of various linguistic elements used in advertising. The analyzed materials possess distinct language properties according to what is their desired function. On billboards, posters and online banners, where short, concise messages fulfill their function of advertising a certain product, long, structured blocks of text would fail. And in a similar fashion, usage of short “catch-phrases” in official documents would be considered unprofessional. This bachelor’s thesis aims to outline and describe some of the linguistic methods used in marketing by gathering data and analyzing it.
