摘要:随着现代社会的发展,广告已经无孔不入,成为我们日常生活中不可分割的一部分。公益广告,概括地说,是指为社会公众服务的非盈利性的广告,是指为了促进公共利益,唤起人们对社会各种现实问题的关心,呼吁人们以实际行动来解决或改善这些问题。随着广告语体的发展与成熟,广告语篇分析受到了国内外学者的重视,而这在国内外也引发了一系列关于广告语言策略方面的研究。

   本文收集了美国红十字会的九则广告语,在词汇特点方面进行了详细的分析并总结出其广告语具有以下特点:用词简单,适当使用可能性情态动词,疑问词频现,多用第一、第二人称代词,灵活运用复合词。本文希望这一发现可以帮助我们对公益广告语的词汇特点有进一步的了解,以便日后进一步学习或创造更好的公益广告。
