This paper discusses language style and function of slogan. This paper aims to identify identify the language styles and functions used, the most and least used language styles and functions, and to identify the characteristics of 13 South Korean beauty product brand slogans. Data were analyzed in terms of language style according to Tarigan’s (2013) theory and language function according to Halliday’s (1973) theory. The methodology used is a descriptive qualitative methodology.
The results show that the language style used consists of: (a) personification, (b) metaphor, (c) antithesis, (d) pleonasm, (e) hyperbole, (f) paronomasia, (g) metonymy, (i) synecdoche, (i) parallelism, (j) anaphora, and (k) assonance. The most commonly found language style is metonymy because it contains brand name, making it easier for consumers to remember the brand name when reading the slogan. Meanwhile, the least used language styles are pleonasm and paronomasia. Pleonasme is slightly used because it uses words that are unnecessary and not in accordance with the short, concise, and clear nature of the slogan, while paronomasia is slightly used because it uses words that have the same sound with different meanings such as the brand Goodal and the word good all in English.
The language function found consists of: (a) regulatory function, (b) informational function, and (c) imaginative function. The most widely used language functions are informational language functions that inform the brand name and describe the brand concept or characteristics. The informational language function that informs the brand name is widely used to make it easier for consumers to remember the brand name when reading the slogan, while the informational language function that expresses the concept or characteristics of the brand is widely used because a brand needs to have a different concept from other brands. On the other hand, the least used language function is the regulatory function because the majority of slogans emphasize the information they want to convey to consumers through the informational function.
Overall, South Korean beauty product brand slogans have several characteristics in terms of language style and function, namely: (a) using a lot of Korean-English mixtures to expand audience reach, (b) emphasizing metonymic language styles to make it easier for consumers to remember brand names, (c) not using much repetition and wordy sentence structures, (d) emphasizing differentiating characteristics from other brands, (e) using connotative meanings mainly in imaginative functions, and (f) not using many regulatory language functions.
