Abstract

 

The explosive growth of We-Media platforms in China has innovated advertising language with one remarkable feature as English Memes are employed in the context of Chinese advertisements. Despite plenty of extensive studies home and abroad on advertising from pragmatic perspective, few have touched on memetic phenomenon in advertisements and even fewer are based on pieces with memes in a foreign language. The main body of this thesis, therefore, is devoted to revealing pragmatic functions and motivations underlying this new trend.

This thesis conducts the qualitative analysis on collected samples and slogans from We-Media ads. It mainly elaborates on illustrating the embodiment of four major pragmatic principles applied in the innovation of Chinese ads with English Memes. Moreover, through comparison and case study, the conclusion indicates that pragmatic motivations are evoked by the purpose of marketers in enhancing interestingness function, emphasis function and persuasion function.

The significance of the present study resides in its initiative to look into English Memes, which are motivated by rapid development of We-Media, in Chinese advertising context. With the aim at decoding English Memes in Chinese advertising from the perspective of pragmatics, this thesis provides guidance for those who are engaged in the creation of We-Media advertising and sheds new lights on the pragmatic interpretation of Chinese advertisements.
