Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the structural organization of English polycomponent attributive phrases when describing women’s clothing items in English-language consumer online advertising. The study is based on the material selected from British and American websites advertising the sale of women’s clothing. The scientific novelty lies in identifying the features of the structural organization of English polycomponent attributive phrases describing clothing in advertising texts on the websites of leading brands. The paper provides a general characteristic of polycomponent attributive phrases describing the features of items of women’s clothing in the creolized English-language texts of online advertising. The researchers then carry out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the location of these features in the verbal components of advertising texts. The results of the study showed that the arrangement of words indicating the features of an object in these phrases is accompanied by a “violation” of the sequence proposed by the rules of English grammar. Such “violations” are created to bring to the fore the words that most clearly characterize certain features of the advertised clothing.
