Abstract

This research investigates the comparison between German and Chinese BMW advertisements, employing the isotopy analysis method within the framework of textlinguistics. The result revealed a shared characteristic in both German and Chinese automobile advertisements, namely the strategic selection of some isotopys, such as brand names and functionalities. Moreover, we noticed differences in the themes of these ads, with Chinese ads focusing on specialization and interior aspects, while German ads emphasize technological expertise and design elements. This difference can be attributed to that ad writers want to align with their respective cultural contexts, thereby enhancing the marketing effectiveness.
