The Language of Standardised Advertisements

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyze cultural differences in press advertisements from weekly magazines “Wprost” and “Time” (from the years 2003–2004). Both standardized and local (only for the Polish market) advertisements were analyzed. In the language of local ads, the features of Polish language and culture were noted: an open and spontaneous expression of emotions, as well as formulating advice to a potential client, using the imperative mode. In the case of standardized advertising, appealing to emotions and feelings distinguished the Polish version of advertisements from the English ones.
