Abstract

Advertisements are able to attract and capture audiences’ attentions by means of words, phrases, or sentences as seen in Wendy’s taglines. This paper attempts ate finding out kinds of rhetorical devices used in the taglines and how the taglines impress the audiences’ attentions. There were 39 taglines used by Wendy’s since 1969. The findings show there are 19 kinds of rhetorical devices in the taglines: aphaeresis, parallelism, asyndeton, alliteration, assonance, anaphora, epanalepsis, homoioteleuton, rhyme, free verbal repetition, metaphor, hyperbole, litotes, onomatopoeia, rhetorical question, periphrasis, anthimeria, polysemy, and pun. From the audiences’ response, assonance is the most persuasive rhetorical device in the taglines. Keywords: taglines, rhetorical devices, Wendy’s taglines
