Word Formation and the Discourse of Advertising

Abstract

U radu se donose rezultati istraživanja provedenoga na korpusu reklamnih tekstova te radijskih i televizijskih spotova prikupljenom od 2009. do 2013. godine. U središtu zanimanja su rječotvorbeni postupci kojima se reklamne poruke oblikuju. Analizom je utvrđeno da se radi stvaranja efekta začudnosti u primatelja poruke primjenjuju netipični tvorbeni postupci kao što su grafoderivacija i stapanje. S obzirom na njihovo mjesto u leksičkome sustavu, takve su tvorenice poseban tip prigodnica, tzv. reklamni okazionalizmi.This paper presents the results of research conducted using a corpus of radio and television commercials and advertising texts gathered from 2009 to 2013. The main points of interest of the paper are word-formation processes used to create the messages of the advertisements. Analysis of the corpus showed that graphoderivation and blending were used in order to create a sense of wonder in the recipients of the message of the advertisements. According to their place in the lexicon, words created for this purpose are called advertising occasionalism
