No. of bitstreams: 1 Viviane Yamane da Cunha.pdf: 3078841 bytes, checksum: 57a900c84bf20c31ba3b7829338ed286 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-11-07 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The purpose of this doctoral thesis is the critical examination of persuasion that appear in the ads of beauty products aimed at women, carried on the various sectors of the media, focusing on multimodality that serves it as a means of advertising and ultimately determines the identity of the Brazilian women. The current advertisements are less interested in advertising listing objective properties of objects than linking the product to any entity, effect or person, creating a fusion involving an uncharacterized product with desirable properties. Persuasion, then counts on the creation of a textual world, built on the legitimization phenomenon through strategies employed to justify the course of action, making it legitimate, as well built on the intersubjectivity, which the notion of evaluation involves not only the subjective dimension, but also the intersubjective commitment to other subjectivities. In this world, the ideological metaphor disguising social processes underlying the text, determines its interpretation, and is therefore found in persuasive types of speech such as advertising. This world also has the assistance of the images in the persuasive process that underlies the analyzed advertisements. The research is mainly based on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), a multifunctional theory that assigns three semantic functions (or metafunctions) to language: ideational (referring to the topic); interpersonal (referring to the interaction between speaker and listener) and textual (referring to the construction of the text, taking into account the other two metafunctions). SFL encompasses the appraisal system, the author's evaluation of the text and of the interlocutor. The research should answer the following questions: (a) How is the verb-visual relationship created in advertising beauty products aimed at women? (b) What implicit and explicit ideological aspects can be detected in such discourse? (c) How can the ideological metaphor reveal such aspects? / O objetivo desta tese de doutorado é o exame crítico da persuasão que percorre a propaganda de produtos de beleza destinados ao público feminino, veiculada por vários setores da mídia, com enfoque na multimodalidade que lhe serve como meio de divulgação, e que, em última instância, determinam a identidade da mulher brasileira. A propaganda atual está menos interessada em alistar propriedades objetivas dos objetos do que em ligar o produto a alguma entidade, efeito ou pessoa, criando uma fusão que envolve um produto descaracterizado com propriedades desejáveis. A persuasão conta, então, com a criação de um mundo textual, construído com base no fenômeno da legitimização, por meio de estratégias empregadas para justificar o curso da ação, tornando-a legitimada, bem como da intersubjetividade, em que a noção de avaliação envolve não somente a dimensão subjetiva, mas também o compromisso intersubjetivo com outras subjetividades. Nesse mundo, a metáfora ideológica dissimulando processos sociais subjacentes ao texto, determina sua interpretação, e é, por esse motivo, encontrada em tipos persuasivos de discurso como a propaganda. Esse mundo conta também com o concurso das imagens no processo persuasivo que subjaz às propagandas analisadas. A pesquisa recorre, basicamente, à Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), uma teoria multifuncional que atribui três funções semânticas (ou metafunções) à língua: ideacional (referente ao assunto); interpessoal (referente à interação entre falante e ouvinte) e textual (referente à construção do texto, levando em conta as duas outras metafunções). A LSF abriga em seu bojo a avaliatividade, ou seja, o posicionamento avaliativo do autor em relação ao texto e ao interlocutor. A pesquisa deve responder às seguintes perguntas: (a) Como é feita a relação verbovisual na propaganda de produtos de beleza destinada ao público feminino? (b) Que aspectos ideológicos implícitos e explícitos podem ser detectados nesse discurso? (c) Como pode a metáfora ideológica revelar esses aspectos?

The beauty industry has been around for centuries and keeps growing and developing daily. The industry has not been slowing down during the spread of the virus covid-19 but has had a fast platform change. Most brands today are available online and promoted by influencers on social media platforms. However, the question remains if it is achievable to get an equivalent experience of beauty products that one would get in-store online as when scrolling on social media.The purpose of this study was to see how beauty companies work with sensory marketing on their own and through influencers' social media platforms, with the effect of captivating young women's interest in their products and brand. The question of whether the effect of sensory marketing and the persona that influencers effuse on beauty products was a new gap. It was also interesting to see if customers are affected by sensory marketing and influencers when making an online beauty purchase decision. Beauty products are personal and specific and often seen as complex to buy online since they have particular formulations, scents, and colors. The empirical findings are conducted through a pilot interview with an extensive beauty company in the Swedish beauty sector. The interview with the head of sales gave the ground information and peeked into the workaround influencer and sensory marketing. Then that information could be used as a base for the questions in structured customer interviews. The findings were then presented and analyzed with the literature review to make a final result and answer the question.The conclusion of the thesis showed that the young women in generation Z were a part of the online beauty movement. Considering that most young women followed influencers where they got to learn, explore and get an insight, they could easily make purchase decisions. The result showed a positive effect on the combinations of influencers and sensory marketing on generation Z due to their perception. The result also showed a more significant effect on the trust of a persona than sensory marketing, as getting to know the influencer's personality had a more significant impact than something being aesthetically pleasing.

As social media platforms continue to evolve, the rapid evolution has significantly transformed consumer behavior, particularly among generation Z. TikTok has emerged as a particularly dominant force and therefore this thesis investigates the influence of TikTok User-generated content on impulsive buying behavior towards beauty products among generation Z. Through a qualitative analysis the authors explore the intricate dynamics of TikToks UGC, aiming to uncover trends and patterns that trigger impulsive purchases.  Drawing on semi-structured interviews with Generation Z beauty consumers, the study investigates how TikTok's unique features and content dynamics drive impulsive purchases. The analysis focuses on identifying key trends and patterns in UGC that contribute to spontaneous buying decisions, as well as understanding the role of authenticity, trust, and emotional engagement in this process. The findings reveal that individuals who spend more time on TikTok are more likely to exhibit impulsive buying behavior. Key factors influencing these behaviors include the perceived honesty and expertise of influencers, the relatability and aspirational qualities of content creators, and the repeated exposure to products. Limited editions and perceived exclusivity further amplify the urgency to purchase. TikToks video format, which provides immediate and relatable visual proof of products effectiveness, plays a crucial role in driving these impulsive buying decisions. This study underscores the importance for brands to strategically leverage TikToks platform to engage with Generation Z consumers effectively. By creating honest, relatable content and utilizing the power of repeated exposure, brands can enhance consumer engagement and drive sales, fostering long term trust and loyalty among Generation Z consumers.

本論文探討在女性時尚雜誌中，美容用品廣告所使用的社會語用策略及語言手段。在本研究中，以Cook (2001)的廣告方法，Searle (1969)的適切條件，Grice (1975)的合作原則，以及Leech (1983)的禮貌原則做為分析的準則。 研究中分析的資料來自兩本女性時尚雜誌，Beauty和Elle。在語料量化分析方面，收錄了200條廣告詞，均分為兩類美容用品：化妝品和保養品。此外，在訪談質化分析方面，有12位女性受訪，以便評量4條選定的廣告詞之可信度。 語料的量化分析顯示：(1) 不同種類的美容用品有偏好的廣告方式。(2) 合作原則和禮貌原則的分配情形不同。(3) 以女性意識形態來說，化妝品廣告和保養品廣告有相異之處。(4) 不同的語言手段被用來廣告這兩類美容用品。 訪談的質化分析顯示：(1) 受訪者的社會背景(教育程度和年齡)影響她們對廣告的態度。(2) 不同的廣告方式影響受訪者對廣告的態度。(3) 廣告的類別不影響受訪者在適切條件、合作原則、以及禮貌原則上對廣告的態度。基於以上的分析，可以發現潛在消費者對說服力的認知與廣告主不吻合。也就是說，消費者不認為所分析的廣告有說服力，這顯示廣告無法滿足消費者的需求。本研究建議廣告主應該從消費者的觀點出發並補救這個問題。 / This study aims at exploring the sociopragmatic strategies and the linguistic devices employed in the beauty product advertisements in women’s fashion magazines. In this study, Cook’s advertising approach (2001), Searle’s Felicity Conditions (1969), Grice’s Cooperative Principle (1975), and Leech’s Politeness Principle (1983) are the criteria for analyses. This study takes both quantitative analyses and qualitative analyses. For quantitative analyses, 200 pieces of advertisements were collected from two women’s fashion magazines, Beauty and Elle. These data are equally distributed to two types of beauty products: cosmetic products and skin-care products. In addition, for qualitative analyses, twelve women were interviewed to evaluate the effectiveness of the elements contained in four pieces of advertisements selected. Results of quantitative analyses show (1) that hard-sell approach is preferred on beauty products; (2) that the distribution of the maxims of Cooperative Principle is that Quality Maxim and Manner Maxim are obeyed most frequently, but Quantity Maxim is violated most often; (3) that the distribution of the maxims of Politeness Principle is that Tact Maxim and Modesty Maxim are implemented the most frequently; (4) that cosmetic ads and skin-care ads emphasize on different components of woman ideology; (5) different linguistic devices are used to advertise the two types of beauty products. The qualitative analyses of the data show (1) that the subjects’ social backgrounds (in this case, education level and age) do affect their attitudes of persuasiveness toward advertisements; (2) that different advertising approaches do influence the subjects’ attitudes toward the advertisements; (3) that advertisements of different types of beauty products do not influence the subjects’ attitudes toward the advertisements no matter by Felicity Conditions, by Cooperative Principle, or by Politeness Principle. Based on the analyses given above, it is found that the subjects’ perception of persuasiveness does not match with that of the advertiser’s. To these potential consumers, those advertisements analyzed are not persuasive, which indicates that the advertisements fail to satisfy the consumer’s demands. It is suggested that the advertiser takes the consumer’s perspective to promote the persuasiveness of advertisements and the consumer’s acceptance of the commodities to be sold.
