The language of advertising is basically persuasive; therefore all possible means, linguistic or non-linguistic, have been adopted by advertisement writers to serve the purposes of advertising. As a very important topic in linguistic, especially in pragmatics, presupposition is frequently employed in order to enhance the effects of persuasion in advertisements because of its own special properties. There exist some relations between presupposition and advertising language. This paper gives a brief introduction of pragmatic presupposition and analyzes its functions in advertising. The emphasis of this paper is placed on presupposition and its pragmatic functions of advertising language from three angles: presupposition and advertisement information, presupposition psychology and market strategies of advertisements. By presenting advertising examples in the process of analysis, the author hopes that the paper can be some help of designing advertising language.
