Abstract
Nowadays, with the rapid development of commodity economy, commercial advertising which is used to promote the products is paid more and more attention. With the globalization of economy, commercial advertising is becoming more international. We can see English advertisements everywhere. But commercial advertising English is different from other kind of language. It usually uses extremely funny and vivid expressions to show the advantages and characteristics of the products or services. So commercial advertising English has its own lexical features, syntactic features and rhetorical devices. We have done many researches about commercial advertising English but it is still not systematical enough. That’s why I want to do this research and I really hope that this research can help make it more systematical.
Key words: Commercial advertising English; Lexical features; Syntactic features; Rhetorical devices
