     With the development of economy and the advancement of society, the advertisement exists in every corner of our life. As an important means of information transmission, it becomes indispensable in public life. American Marketing Association defines the advertisement as: Advertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideals by identified sponsors through the various media (Qi Yunfang, 2003:5). The success of advertisements to a great extent depends on their languages. As the most widely used language in the world, English will become more communicative when combined with advertisements.  从系统功能语法角度浅析英语广告语篇的人际意义:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_57901.html
