This article examines the linguopragmatic means of
expressing relationships in commercial and political
advertising slogans. The relevance of the research is
determined by the strong influence of advertising and political
communication on shaping and managing public
consciousness in modern society. The insufficient
development of research on the linguopragmatic features of
advertising highlights the scientific novelty of this work. The
aim of the research is to determine the role of linguopragmatic
means used in advertising slogans in expressing attitudes, and
to reveal the similarities and differences between commercial
and political advertising. The research methodology includes
contextual, linguopragmatic, and comparative-typological
analysis, as well as corpus linguistics methods. The study
found that imperative constructions prevail in commercial
advertising, while affirmative declarative statements are more
commonly used in political slogans. Lexically, abstract
positive terms dominate in commercial advertising, whereas
value-oriented terms are prevalent in political advertising. The
mechanisms of influence of rhetorical figures (metaphor,
antithesis, hyperbole) and pragmatic means (presuppositions,
implications, deixis) were analyzed. The research results
enable the improvement of creating and analyzing advertising
texts, deepening knowledge about linguistic means of
expressing attitudes, as well as developing methodological
guidelines for creating effective slogans, taking into account
the mechanisms of pragmatic influence.
