Main Article Content
Abstract
Nivea is a global German brand, founded in 1882, specializing in skin care and body products. Therefore, Nivea advertisements are popular all over the world. Based on Fairclough's three-dimensional model, we analyzed 10 Chinese Nivea advertisements in the Chinese market, taken from the website http://www.youtube.com, including texts, discourse practices, and social practices. This research results showed that linguistic features that Nivea used in advertising had great effect in attracting the attention of the viewers; discourse strategies such as self-representation, exaggeration, providing scientific proof, establishing close relationships with customers... played an important role in building faith with customers; modern life with fast pace, gender features, oriental beauty concepts also directly affected the construction of advertising.
