Clever diction is also used in the ad’s rhetorical phrase at the top. The use of “honorary” is used to establish that babies who eat Gerber food are distinguished from others. Also, the phrase “taste tester” is a privilege. It indicates that the mother’s baby has such an exquisite food palate that the company trusts her baby to try out their food. In both cases of diction the company uses pathos by declaring the honor that those who eat Gerber baby food possess. Gerber also ties in their credibility with numbers. The use of “2000 taste testers” indicates that there is a large number of mothers who have put their trust in the baby food company in order for feed their child. The large number appeals to the reader as a credible amount of other parents who have relied on the product.The word “Organic” is also used to point out that their product is all natural.

Rhetorical strategies including pathos, ethos, and logos are stylistic elements often used as a persuasion technique to get an audience to either buy a product or participate in something. Advertisements almost always have at least one of these three components, and Super Bowl commercials specifically are renowned for their entertaining use of these strategies. Of the many Super Bowl commercials, two stood out to me for their in-depth use of all three of these rhetorical strategies. The first commercial combines the extreme measures taken by an overprotective dad and the new Hyundai Genesis. These two seemingly unlike ideas are brought together in a collaboration that effectively use pathos, ethos, and logos to prove the audience of their product.

In this discourse analysis essay I will be critically analysing the above advert for LEGO by paying close attention to the purpose, structure, audience and linguistic features of the advertisement. I will begin by looking at the purpose of the advert (why it was created), structure (how the adverts body copy is set out) and audience (the target market) before I move on to unpacking the linguistic features. This advertisement was published around the late 90’s and its main purpose is to advertise LEGO. To catch people’s attention, so that people would look at the advert, the designers used bright, bold and primary colours in addition the background of the advert is also plain as not to distract the reader from the LEGO or the child (which take up a large portion of the page).Another major factor in the appeal of the advert is that the child looks happy and content playing with the LEGO which perks the readers interest as they now want to identify why.
