| Abstract | ||
| This paper examines the representation of pragma-linguistic devices in Ramadan’s real-estate advertisements in Egypt 2024 through a pragmatic and linguistic lens. While some consumers could swallow deceptive language in ads, this desire is not unanimous, posing challenges for businesses. Advertising appears to be vital in everyday life. It not only communicates information but may also provide enjoyment. We admire well-designed, unforgettable, witty, creative, and artistic advertising, demonstrating the marketer’s expertise and engaging language. This study aims to assess and combine the literature on misleading language represented through a pragmatic approach, specifically pragmatic traps. Pragmatic traps are misleading promotional statements that alter the true nature of an item or product. Understanding the choice model of pragmatic traps in advertising is crucial, as it reveals how marketers can change a commercial’s co-text and narrative through language. Consumers should be aware of these linguistic traps to make educated consumption choices. | ||
