The master thesis is aimed to analyse the language of selected Polish and Slovak television advertisements. The goal of the thesis was to examine to what extent and in what manner advertisers in creation of advertising texts and advertising slogans use a field of linguistics. On a basis of theoretical hypothesis, we analysed selected Polish and Slovak television advertisements.
The master thesis consists of the theoretical and the practical part. In the first one is provided general insight into the topic of television advertisement. Furthermore, it presents major functions of television advertising messages, cues for writing well composed advertising texts, grammatically-syntactic typology of advertising slogan, as well as a typology of linguistic characteristics of advertising texts with regard to their phonetic, morphological, syntactic, lexicologic and stylistic level.
In the practical part of the master thesis we used the theoretical background to analyse selected Polish and Slovak television advertisements, which were divided into four thematic groups. Each advertisement is presented by three tables. The first table contains a spoken part of an advertisement and a slogan, the second one provides a formal language analysis of the advertisement, while the third one brings the analysis of the advertisement from a viewpoint of individual levels of language.
Analytical process allowed us to come to a conclusion that, in creation of television advertising text, a crucial role is played by all levels of language which are combined to form a sensible whole. Mainly prevail phonetic and morphological levels which enable the creator of the advertisement to play with words as originally as possible.
