The advertising discourse has a main feature of very metaphoric language that allows to give it such a broad meaning and have a persuasive effect. The generalizations governing poetic metaphorical expressions are not in language, but in thought: they are general mappings across conceptual domains. Now we may see that ordinary everyday English is largely metaphorical, dispelling once and for all the traditional view that metaphor is primarily in the realm of poetic or “figurative” language, metaphor is a major and indispensable part of the ordinary, conventional way of conceptualizing the world, and that the everyday behavior reflects metaphorical understanding of experience.
Print advertisements of beauty products appeal a lot to people’s emotions and cultural attitudes. They also try to involve young audience to social activities related to beauty products usage. All analysed advertisements tried to imply that their products are maximum natural, healthy and will make you beautiful really quickly.
The persuasive effects of the analysed advertisements were achieved by using assessing words (mainly adjectives and adverbs) and metaphors. Among metaphors we have met the type of LIFE-IS-A-JOURNEY and image metaphors.
As well as metaphors there were used comparisons and hyperbolic expressions.
