Mutalisk The English Language In General: ... this op I will attempt to highlight linguistic techniques used in advertising and the connotations this exposes. In terms of grammar, the viewer is likely to find declarative sentences, to show confidence in the product that is being sold, as well as rhetorical devices such as loaded questions in order to attain the same end.
