The third, thereby the last pun “A KISS IN CENTRAL PARK - ’Fall’ in love with NYC” (Picture 5.) works on the associative ground. An image of the Central Park covered with colourful leaves during the autumn (another persuasive technique which is a good timing, as all the mentioned in this section advertisements were released that particular season), and a huge caption “A KISS IN CENTRAL PARK” with a lip print. Looking into this image an audience may have an impression that this post bears no persuasion at all, and there is even no advertised product. However, since Maybelline New York is known for selling and producing cosmetics, the lip print may indicate the promotion of a new lipstick, or a lip gloss. Regarding the line “’Fall’ in love with NYC” the pun has been presented in quotation marks to make it more visible for the audience. The word “fall” relates either to the state of “experiencing feelings of love towards somebody” being the verb phrase “to fall in love with somebody”, or to the noun representing the season illustrated on the described picture (Dictionary.com, 2014). In addition, “NYC” may be an allusion to “New York City” pertaining to “Central Park”, and Maybelline headquarter, as well as “New York Colors” being the slogan included in advertising campaigns.

  • The Brand Personality of Target Corporation

    1039 Words  | 3 Pages

    In every given business, the name itself portrays different meanings. This serves as the reference point and sometimes the basis of customers on what to expect within the company. Since personality affects product image (Langmeyer & Shank, 1994), the presence of brand helps in the realization of this concept. Traditionally, brand is a symbolic manifestation of all the information connected with a company, product, or service (Nilson, 2003; Olin, 2003). A brand is typically composed of a name, logo, and other visual elements such as images, colors, and icons (Gillooley & Varley, 2001; Laforet & Saunders, 1994)). It is believed that a brand puts an impression to the consumer on what to expect to the product or service being offered (Mere, 1995). In other application, brand may be referred as trademark, which is legally appropriate term. The brand is the most powerful weapon in the market (LePla & Parker, 1999). Brands possess personality in which people associate their experience. Oftentimes, they are related to the core values the company executes.

    A common trait found throughout mankind’s existence is its anthropological dispersion of human culture. But when looking to the past many questions frequently arise. Michael Cook, the author of A Brief History of the Human Race, structures his study of the development of societies and civilizations with one predominant question. “Why did human history happen the way it did?” Well aware that society and civilization are ancient arts, Cook sketches an overview from man’s prehistoric origins to industrialization of the contemporary world. Furthermore, he brilliantly explores why human history did not begin until the fairly recent past. Modern humanoids have been in existence for thousands of years, but it was not until roughly the ninth millennium B.C. that history began to make an appearance. Cook gives a compelling explanation for why this is so. He also explains that by looking into our past many answers to man’s questions can be revealed and lead humans to a primordial enlightenment. From writing and the calendars of Mesoamerica, to the progression of scientific innovation, Cook shows the reader the lush diversity within the human experience.

  • Brand Equity Model Of Adidas

    1462 Words  | 3 Pages

    Companies use a collection of brand equities to represent their products in the market (Voolnes, 2012). Brand equity refers to the commercial value that is derived from the perception of consumers on any given brand name of particular products in the market as opposed to the product itself. Ataman (2003) notes that the effect to the consumer is in the brand name and not the product itself. Companies use logos, trademarks and a collection of other symbols to present this information to the customers. The use of these symbols is meant to try and capture the customer mindset so that they can be thinking about the company products at all times through the items they possess at home (Estes, Gibbert, Guest, & Mazursk, 2012). This can well be explained by use of the customer-based brand equity model that brings together the requirements for a publicly renowned brand in the market.

  • The Importance Of The Great Vowel Shift

    1826 Words  | 4 Pages

    English language has lately become the world’s lingua franca, making it one of the most spoken languages worldwide. An important feature that gives it a sustainable advantage over other languages is ability to easily adapt to changes. It is spoken in many dialects across multiple countries and continues to welcome new words while other words change meaning or are slowly abandoned. For instance, the word “abandoned” wouldn’t have made sense in the last sentence if an English man from the 14th century read it, because back then, it meant “to subjugate.” On the other hand, there are many English words that are added to official dictionaries at a yearly basis such as “tweep”, “selfie” and “hashtag”.

    Collocation allows speakers to “express complex ideas very simply and yet precisely” (Lewis 2000 p16), and native speech prefers collocation to complex grammatical structures. However, it is difficult for many students to acquire this knowledge without it being explicitly taught. Woolard (ETP 2005: 48) states that ‘the noun provides the most efficient focus for learning collocations’. For this reason, I chose to focus on collocations with nouns as it will have a huge value on the learners.

  • The Role Of Neologisms In The English Language

    Language as a dynamic structure is exposed to constant development, transformation and alteration. Media, society, culture, science, technology and politics are the core factors that contribute towards language evolution. Due to numerous linguistic and extra linguistic factors, newly coined units in the language are in the process of entering and influencing the English language. These new units, known as neologisms, serve as our guidance in understanding the never-ending evolution in the English language. Furthermore, neologisms ease each individual’s process of coping with changes by creating mental bridges between the old and the contemporary. The English language vocabulary is facing constant change, as neologisms enter in a blink of an eye through the media. The mass media being the major source and ground on which English neologisms are coined, plays a significant role of intermediary between the English population as active consumers and the language itself.
