The fundamental objective of advertising
discourse is to persuade target audiences to
accept and purchase the advertised product,
thus in essence, persuasiveness is crucial
characteristic of advertising discourse. Actually,
successful persuasion usually involves
argumentativeness. Drawing on the research
framework of Pragma-Dialectics, this paper
attempts to explore a pragma-dialectical
approach to advertisement discourse on the
basis of the ideal model of critical discussion.
This approach involves two interrelated parts:
argumentative reconstruction and strategic
maneuvering analysis. Taking the case of
Melatonin advertisements, the pragma-dialectical
approach can show the argumentativeness of
advertisement discourse to a great extent and
meanwhile reveals advertisers’ manipulation of
dialectical reasonableness and rhetorical
effectiveness. Therefore, the pragma-dialectical
approach can not only give a deep insight into
persuasiveness and argumentativeness of
advertising discourse, but also provides a
theoretical guidance for advertisers to skilfully
employ dialectical strategies in advertising
discourse. Consequently, such approach can
offer a new perspective for comprehensive and
systematic study of advertisement discourse.
