Reviews

`... this study illustrates the new perspectives that relevance theory may open (or at least may help to rediscover) in the area of advertising language. At the same time it offers a useful comparison between Japanese and British advertising, showing that there are a number of differences, but that on the whole they have more in commom than might perhaps have been expected.' - Pragmatics

'The book is relevant to a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, linguistics, literary criticism and media studies.' - Linguistics and Behavior Abstracts
