ADVERTISING DISCOURSIVE GENRES AND VERBAL-VOCAL-VISUALITY

SIGNALS FOR A READING OF NON-VERBAL TEXTS

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is analyzing the constitution of verbal-vocal-visual signs that compose two advertising pieces in dialogue: a work called Onslaught, published by Dove and the piece called Dove Onslaught(er), from the Greenpeace organization. By using a theoretical stream formed, mainly, by the Circle of Bakhtin discussions about the concept of discoursive genres, dialoging and utterance, it intends to consider possibilities of meaning production through the observation of the dialogue between verbal-vocal-visual signs which take part of the advertising discourse and explain about contributions of this analysis for the reading of non-verbal utterances.
