offering an opportunity for the age of advertising, advertising has been gaining its great popularity Different kinds of customers potentially demand different ways of presenting advertisements Advertisements are so available around us that we cannot help taking notice of them They are informative and keep us in touch with the world We can see them in newspapers, magazines, radios, televisions, or public places It is the fact that they play a remarkably important role in the socio-economy of any country For this reason, I decide to involve myself in the field of advertising Reasons for investigating lexical cohesive devices During my attending discourse analysis lectures delivered by Professor Nguyen Hoa, I was attracted by his talk explaining the two notion “cohesion” and “coherence” clearly and understandably Referring back to my interest in the language of advertising, I combine these two to make a decision of analyzing lexical cohesion in advertising discourses It is noticeable that many researches on cohesive devices and particularly on lexical cohesive devices have been carried out in many discourses and genres Also, many studies of advertising discourse have focused on the language used in advertisements However, none has been done to functional food advertisements In the light of discourse analysis, cohesion and coherence are among major aspects studied Basing on the theory of these two terms, I analyze the linguistic features in terms of syntax of functional food advertisements in which I can see the frequency of occurrence of lexical cohesive devices and then draw some noticeable findings Aims of the study The study serves four main aims: - to give a brief overview on discourse and discourse analysis with the two related aspects: cohesion and coherence - to give a general understanding of the notion “functional food” and the language of advertising - to investigate and describe the employment of lexical cohesive devices in this type of advertisement to work out their cohesive functions in particular, their roles in general in the creation of successful advertisements - to make a comparative analysis of lexical cohesion between English and Vietnamese FFAs Research questions of the study In order to achieve the aims stated above, the study is meant to find out the answers to following research questions: - What are the lexical cohesive devices used in English FFAs and Vietnamese ones? - What are the frequencies of occurrence of these lexical cohesive devices? - How lexical cohesive devices contribute to the success of a functional food advertisement? - What are the similarities and differences in the employment of lexical cohesive devices between English samples and Vietnamese ones? Significance of the study This study contributes to verify the correctness and significance related to linguistic theories in discourse analysis by working on a certain kind of discourse (Functional Food Advertisements) Together with some previous studies on discourse analysis of advertising, the study covers another research on another type of advertising - Functional Food Advertisements It can be a useful analysis to understand the role and contribution of lexical cohesive devices to successful FFAs Especially, this study is of great importance to me; it reflects my interest and concern about advertisement genre, this study is a valuable assertion on my effort to sort out the kinds of magazine and collect the advertisement samples More importantly, thanks to this study, I could create a worthy opportunity for myself to have a true and deep understanding on a new and blooming kind of product in the world in general, in Vietnam in particular, then it is my hope that this study can contribute to raising people‟s awareness of functional foods and FFAs Last but not least, this study can be a foundation for further studies on analysis of Function Food advertising in the light of other linguistic branches such as pragmatics, semantics Scope of the study Due to the limited time and knowledge, it is not my ambition to have a comprehensive analysis of FFAs I merely focus on the lexical cohesive devices in the advertisements for only one kind of products namely FFAs The investigation on one of two main aspects of cohesion, grammatical one, is beyond of the scope of this study, and this issue should be left for further study The samples include 10 English FFAs and Vietnamese ones with equivalent number for the purpose of contrastive analysis All the data collected will be analyzed to explore their contribution to the creation of the cohesive and coherent text with precision, unambiguity, and tightness Methodology Description of data: Subjects for this study are advertisements of functional foods, a large number of which can be found on televisions, on newspapers, on the internet, and so on However, this study focuses on samples of advertisements taken out from some magazines in both English and Vietnamese because magazines are one of written discourses in which the author can find it easier to explore lexical cohesive devices and their role and contribution to the effective advertisements Moreover, FFAs are not frequently found in newspapers That is the reason why the genre “magazines” is chosen as the source to collect the data for the study It is a fact that collecting samples for data analysis is time-consuming for the reason that the market for English magazines is not big, the number of English magazines left in the market is limited in Vietnam country whereas it is much easier to reach Vietnamese magazines in which appear FFAs Finally, the author of this thesis was able to get what needed Specifically, 10 English samples of FFAs are collected from some favorite and famous magazines including Women‟s Weekly, Female, and Glamour Among a variety of magazines in Vietnamese, Tiếp thị gia đình,Phụ nữ, Thế giới phụ nữ, and Truyền hình are also chosen as the source of data In these, 10 advertisements for functional foods are picked up These magazines are chosen for data collection because of their common characteristics Firstly, all of these magazines have the section “advertisements” which are popular among customers who are able to afford to buy such kinds of products as functional foods Secondly, the target markets of all these magazines are mainly the women who can be reached by their care of their health and beauty Lastly, these female customers are clearly more eligible than male ones All 10 samples in English language are for the products originated from Englishspeaking countries, whereas samples in Vietnamese language are for products produced in Vietnam, the three other ones in Thailand, Sweden and China For these, Vietnamese copywriters / advertisers either create advertisements for them or translate original advertisements into Vietnamese ones Methods of the study: - Deductive method: this is a study from discourse analysis approach, focusing on lexical cohesion, thus descriptions and interpretations undeniably base on the works of a few prominent authors and their contributions to related fields such as discourse analysis, cohesion Besides, a framework about the functional food products and language of advertising is set up in order to find out the defining characteristics of functional foods and FFAs - Inductive method: As introduced in the previous part, the study is aimed to explore the types of lexical cohesive devices used in FFAs Consequently; I will arrive at generalizations of explanations and form questions for further research - Qualitative and quantitative methods: Qualitative method helps the study approach the advertising samples, then find out general features of these advertisements After the qualitative analysis, the data is also quantitatively analyzed This quantitative is exploited most of the time to search for what the lexical cohesive devices are used - Descriptive method: In the investigation of data, the descriptive method is employed to give a detailed description of data in terms lexical cohesion It is through this process that the significance level of each lexical cohesive device to the advertisements is specified Design of the study Within the scope mentioned above, the thesis is structured as follows: Part A: INTRODUCTION This part introduces the rationale, aims, methods, scope, significance, and the design of the study Part B: DEVELOPMENT This part consists of three chapters: Chapter 1: Theoretical Background & Review of Related Literature which covers some theoretical knowledge on discourse analysis in general, on cohesive devices in particular Chapter 2: An overview on Functional Foods & Functional Food Advertisements This chapter deals firstly with the defining characteristics of FFs (Functional Foods) and then with advertising discourse together with general descriptions of FFAs Chapter 3: An analysis of lexical cohesive devices in English and Vietnamese FFAs The third chapter in Part B, also the main one of the study, focused on the analysis of the lexical cohesive devices employed Part C: CONCLUSION: Firstly, I attempt to present recapitulation with some major findings Finally, some limitations and suggestions are mentioned PART B: DEVELOPMENT Chapter 1: Theoretical Background & Review of Related Literature This chapter aims at dealing with theoretical framework of the study The chapter begins with a brief view on discourse and discourse analysis In this part, some important concepts in discourse analysis will be looked at, such as discourse and text, spoken and written discourse, and context in discourse analysis Then, the study investigates the notion “cohesion” which will be broken into the concept of cohesion, cohesion and coherence, and classification of cohesion The writer of this study takes the view of Halliday and Hasan as the theoretical framework 1.1 Discourse and discourse analysis 1.1.1 The concept of discourse There are different ways of understanding and defining “discourse” A number of definitions of discourse have been offered It is a fact that the term “discourse” is very ambiguous This notion should be investigated along with the notion “text”, which will be presented below: Discourse and Text “Discourse” and “text” are two terms in discourse analysis which are in need of research and clarification because they may cause confusion for teachers and students of discourse analysis, as well as researchers doing discourse analysis Some scholars identify discourse with text and they supposed that they can be used interchangeably; meanwhile, some other linguists consider text and discourse as two separate entities, and then have paid much attention to the distinction between a discourse and a text For some of them, text is used for writing and discourse is used for speech Brown & Yule (1983:6) argue that text is the representation of discourse, and the term “text” is used to refer to the verbal record of a communicative act Nunan (1993:7-8) affirms that the term “text” is used to “refer to any written record of a communicative event”, meanwhile the term “discourse” is reserved to refer to the interpretation of the communicative event in context.” Crystal (1992:25) says: “Discourse is a continuous stretch of language larger than a sentence, often constituting a coherent unit such as a sermon, argument, joke, or a narrative” According to Halliday & Hasan (1976:2, Cohesion in English), “a text has texture and this is what distinguishes it from something that is not a text” The primary determinant of whether a set of sentences or not constitute a text depends on cohesive relationships within and between the sentences They also state “A text is a unit of language in use It is not a grammatical unit, like a clause or sentence” (Halliday & Hasan, 1976:1) To emphasize the semantic role of text, they add “a text is best regarded as a semantic unit: a unit not of form but of meaning A text does not consist of sentences; it is REALIZED BY, or encoded in, sentences.”(Halliday & Hasan, 1976:2) Halliday II REPETITION of Part of speech: VERB Number of Examples / Frequency of occurrence advertisements E E support(2) E E Enjoy ( 2), reduce (3) E Boost (2) E
