Popular Theatre and Its Roots

Teatre popular enjoyed wide acceptance among the popular classes. It reflected everyday life and defended the colloquial language, full of vulgarisms and castellanisms.

Classified in French

Written on in English with a size of 5.71 KB

Style in advertising is short, brief, repetitive and easy to understand and remember. It is innovative: the language is heterogeneous, offers maximum freedom and breaks with the norm. It uses a variety of registers, languages, and rhetorical resources (metaphor, personification) and varied discourses (literary, scientific, etc.).

  • Body text: information and argument.
  • Closing sentence:
