Student/Author‟s Name: Mehreen Umar Student/Author‟s Signature: ______________ v ABSTRACT In the backdrop of the emerging trends of branding in Pakistan, the advertising discourse on online media platforms has become increasingly popular owing to its interactive merits and dynamic textual features. With the emergence of popular brands in Pakistan, and their persistently increasing presence on online advertising platforms such as websites and social networking sites, the concept of identity construction in advertising discourse has found new meanings focusing largely on the construction and negotiation of a certain desired image created by the use of textual strategies by the brand. In this context the thesis examines how various brands in Pakistan use discourse of advertising on internet to construct and promote their identity. The focus is on examining the linguistic and semiotic strategies used in the Pakistani discourse of advertising by various brands to represent their identity or various multi-faceted identities on their official websites and official Facebook pages. The data consists of the content on the official websites and official Facebook advertisement pages of a total of nine brands. The selected brands belong to three different domains: clothing, food, and cosmetics. The purpose of analysis is to study the linguistic and semiotic features used in the Pakistani discourse of advertising of various brands to examine how they are used in the advertising discourse to construct identity. To analyze the linguistic, semiotic and thematic aspects of the discourse used in these advertisements Fairclough‟s (1989) questions for textual analysis, Janks‟ (1997) rubrics for textual analysis, and Berger‟s (1998) semiotic model are incorporated to devise certain parameters of textual analysis for the present research. The parameters then are integrated into Fairclough‟s (1989) three dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model to examine discourse and its meanings in social context as the underlying theory and method for analysis in the present research work. The findings indicate that the producers aim at creating a certain desired identity in the advertising discourse as suited for their respective brands by using different themes focusing on the aspects that are usually attributed to the brands of certain vi domains. The findings also indicate that there is a unique aspect of identity in every brand despite having a mutual aspect of identity found in the brands belonging to the common domains and this unique aspect of identity differentiates the brand from other competing brands of the same or different domains. Key words Discourse; advertising; language of advertising; social media; Facebook; websites; advertisements; brand identity; Discourse Analysis; Textual elements, linguistic and semiotic devices used in the discourse of advertising. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Certificate of Approval………………………………………………………………...…iii Author‟s Declaration……………………………………………………..………...……..iv Plagiarism Undertaking ...…………………………………………………….……..…....v Abstract……………………………………………………………………………….......vi Table of Contents………………………………………………………..……………... viii List of Tables…………………………………………………………………………....xiv List of Figures...………………………………………………………………………....xiv Acknowledgements…………………………..…………………………..……………... xv Dedication…………………………………………..……………………..…………….xvi Chapter 1 Introduction ………………………………………………………………………...........1 1.1 Introduction to the Chapter ……..…………………………………………………….1 1.2 Background of the Research …...……………………………………………………..1 1.3 Language and Communication in the World of Advertisements ……………..…........3 1.4 Discourse of Advertising ……...…………………………………….………………..4 1.5 Significance of the Study of the Discourse of Advertisements……….……………....5 1.6 Some Operational Definitions ...………………………………………………..……..5 1.6.1 Discourse………………………………………………………………...….6 1.6.2 Text ……………………………………….…………………………………6 1.6.3 Identity………………………………………………………………………7 1.6.4 Identity Construction………………………………………………………..8 1.6.5 Advertiser/ Producer ……………..…………………………………………8 1.7 Statement of the Problem ……………………………………………………………..9 1.8 Reasons for Undertaking the Research ……………………………………………...10 1.9 Significance of the Research …………………………………………………...……11 1.10 Aims and Objectives ……………………………………………………………….14 1.11 Research Question..…………………………………………………………….…..15 1.12 Delimitations ……………………………………………………………………….15 1.13 Research Design ……………………………………………………………………16 1.14 Structure of the Dissertation ……………………………………………………….16 Chapter 2 Literature Review ……………………………………………………………………...18 2.
