Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of manipulative influence of advertising texts on the teenager’s language consciousness. The paper considers the influence of advertising on the associative behavior of subjects, as well as on the assimilation of keywords of the advertising text and the formation of stable images of adolescents’ consciousness. The experiment was conducted on the basis of modern television videos. As a result, we came to the conclusion that the effectiveness of advertising depends on a number of factors, including the channel of influence on the recipient. For television advertising is typical the frequency of keywords or a set of tools, thematically related to the keyword.
