GENDERED COMMUNICATION AND MANIPULATION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FEMALE SPEECH IN THE ADVERTISING INDUSTRY
Abstract
This study aims to identify and assess the manipulative potential of language used in corporate culture through an analysis of female employees' speech in Canadian and British advertising agencies. By addressing this research gap, the study seeks to answer the question of how gender influences the use of manipulative strategies in advertising. To investigate this question, the study employs a comparative research design, complemented by a qualitative analysis of the findings. The research material includes business speeches, presentations, interviews, and articles featuring narratives produced by female respondents working in Canadian and British advertising agencies. The findings suggest that women use emotional and persuasive language to appeal to clients and create a positive attitude towards advertised products. Study results outline specific linguistic differences between Canadian and British female advertising professionals in terms of their use of manipulative language strategies.
