CHAPTER I
1. Introduction
Discourse is multidisciplinary which covers many things from culture to
social. Sources on social media became a younger medium that became one of the
places to get information. The role of the media is also to help the community to
highlight the culture and norms of the culture itself. Some companies use ads to
nominate cultural values to society as well as their own ideology and beliefs. Ads
are targeted to achieve specific goals. Manufacturers use several tools to achieve
their targets. For example women are very enthusiastic about watching dramas
and reading magazines so they go For print media Language and Visual
advertising play a major role to attract viewers Particularly women.
There are so many beauty ads that are recommended to women from
beauty products on television. Through beauty ads on television demands an ideal
body they must have and in beauty advertisements always present an ideal "ideal"
endorse to convince consumers. As "advertising is the most influential
socialization institution in modern society" (Jhally, 1995). Advertising has
deluded consumers subtly and manipulated consumers to get them to buy the
products they advertise.
Fair & lovely is the most popular beauty product among modern society.
This task analyzes from all aspects of this product which is why this product is so
popular among the people. This product is widely excluded and used in 2007 and
was very popular at the time. In those days, people were very relaxed and treated
fairly without any complex inferiority when using these beauty products.
This task will address the characteristics used in beauty product
advertising 'fair & lovely'. Fair & lovely is a beauty product that is very famous
among women and no doubt on this product some men also use it. In this lesson
will explore how advertising presents identity, visual, text and ideology specific
to promotional advertisers and how they manipulate the brains of women. How
they use dominant models and models are required to use a particular language
and how this language can manipulate women's beliefs. For analysis, this
particular language use slot, the framework is a three dimensional model of
Norman Fairclough Discourse Analysis, which explores discursive text
relationships with society and culture.

5. Delimitation

6. Literature review
CDA is a major discipline to investigate any phenomena within language
variances in social context. CDA gives a framework to study the relationship of
society and discourse, text and context, power and Language (Luke, 1995/1996,
2002, Fairclough, 2001,) According to (Van Djik 1993b:131) CL and CDA is “a
shared perspective on doing linguistics semiotics or discourse analysis.
Habermas, (1977) claims “any language is used for social force and domination.
And being a researcher, I totally agree with this point of view where ever we lived
or which Language we used it legitimizes our relations and links of organized
power.
6.1 Fairclough CDA Model
Fairclough explains the importance of this discipline in his (1985,
1989, 1993), works and he uses CDA as an approach to study domination as a
resource in struggles, social change, against exploitation and cultural change.
In his approaches he mainly focused on the study of institutional discourse
and power.
Faircolough (1989, 1995) gave his model for CDA analysis and this
model consists of three dimensions all these dimensions are interrelated with
each other.
a. The target of analysis(visual, verbal and visual texts)
b. The methodology on the basis of which we can receive and produce text
(viewing/speaking/listening/ writing/ reading/designing) by creature
aspect.
c. All the conditions which are the key aspects of the socio-historical
conditions and carry out these formations
Faircolough gave three aspects to critically analyze any text
a. Text analysis (description)
b. Processing analysis(interpretation)
c. Social analysis (explanation).
Fairclough (1992) three experimental stages are linked to discourse
definition. He said in his model that all languages are part of social practice.
He also locates three dimensions on the basis of which he operate Language
as a discourse. An three dimension i-e social and historical, discursive, textual
(Fairclough 2001) are also analyzed in a data given below. Margret (2005) use
Fairclough approach of CDA to analyzing English as a second Language. He
said that availability of and access to linguistic resources is part of a person‟s
political economy which means that the analysis of ESL texts lies well within
the purview of CDA.
7. Esearch methodology
Advertising is a media discourse involving language and social
processes. It is used to train the language to show the connection between
direct practice to society and through 'text'. The goal is to explore the
relationship between language, ideology and strength and to find out how
advertisers convince women to buy their products. The present study falls into
the realm of mixed method research. The purpose of this study is to explore
ideology, visuals, stereotypes, the specific linguistic features behind a
particular image.
8. Data
Phase 1
Lighten the burden in women. This is a segment of justice for women
in the presence of these creams adds to their self-confidence to enhance their
beauty in about 6 weeks and help a beautiful girl and realize their dream to
carry out the wedding with a beautiful face. Not a few television ads based on
a theme like this.
Phase 2
Changing destiny
In this phase, not a few of the beauty product advertisements that
expand consumer fraud. Not only in the city but they started targeting rural
girls and convincing rural girls to use the products they produced and making
the rural girls believe that their products were faster at work than home-made
solutions.
Phase 3
Empower him to leave
At this stage, the ads served really change the way the language is
used and the language it uses more pours emotions to manipulate its
customers.

Fair &lovely give you the easiest way to look and feel young, the new anti
aging fair &lovely is specially formulated for mature skin with revitalizing
enzymes to prevent wrinkles. The promise of fairness which lasts a lifetime.
Fair & lovely Night fairness treatment for double action fairness.
CHAPTER II
1. Analysis
1.1 Textual analysis
In fair & lovely ads use second person pronouns using hidden models
and they use a mirror that shows the process naturally. Advertising in the
media builds discourse by showing changes to the face and making the
audience confident and confident with the ad. In the language used for the
second person pronoun, the audience does not realize the second person's
pronoun is replaced "you, us, and others". The products they offer present the
experience and outlook of every layman and they also use pronouns to build
relationships between presenters and viewers so that consumers will be
captivated by their products. Fairclough calls this process a nominalization;
Where nouns and pronouns are used instead of verbs.
For Example: “Every time you use it, you get fairness....Ready to take
a fairness bet with us?”
“Every time you use it, you get fairness....Ready to take a fairness bet
with us?” (Fair & lovely is a product of “Unilever” but the company and
major actor hides themselves under the logo on product and pronouns). In the
beauty advertisements, common pronoun such as “you”, “your” and “we” are
common. The use of first and second person pronoun indicates as that
advertiser and company is making promises which are sincere and honest. The
use of personal pronouns establishes a certain type of relationship between the
advertisers and the readers (Smith, 2004)For example, the pronoun “we” is
regarded as authoritative and implies power while “you” reflects a personal
engagement as the reader is addressed directly. In addition, the use of “our”
does reflect a certain “us” versus “them” feel to it.
The impositions of questions for drawing readers intentions and give
them confidence.
“Who says beauty fades over time?”
“Ready to take a fairness bet with us?”
Another feature is the use of syntax(disjunctive) in sentences, that is use of
phrases without verb and subjects, such as; “Beautiful always,” “Not just a
cream.... It‟s a fairness treatments.” “Forget marks forever.”
1.2 Discourse Analysis
This levels deals with level of text's production, distribution and
consumptions that gives a glance on how power relations are established
through text. As Fairclough mention all these sub categories of discursive
analysis in his model of CDA analysis
Beauty products use excellent strategies, they will captivate viewers
by using beautiful, well-known, white and seamless models, scientific
evidence, tools that affect consumers' daily life, demands and skin problems
and weaknesses.
They use such emotive words in their ads, so their audience
interpretation is Positive and they build their place in the community and
promote their brand using such devices And Logos brand that a particular
community should use it.
This is how they use different techniques to build power relationships.
And increased Production, consumption and distribution in society and
exploiting women by presenting them in these techniques.
1.3 Social and Historical Analysis
According to Fairclough, this level deals with ideological conventions,
which describe the flow of situations, trends and background information.
Interesting model drawing. And complete procedures that step by step from
darkness to justice make a woman happy about producing and evoking the
feeling of being the ideal person in it as well. Good other. Feature is the use of
challenges because we are confident, and big money as a reward is the best
way to do it Maintain their strength and trust between them.
The way they convey the intonation to the society is very fit among
the people and they also managed to build a special discourse in the
community.
2. Findings
In this task focuses on fair & lovely language so that the owner of this
product using the language as it is said is:
“For life, something is needed, and for something, a need is created”
This assignment studies the use of the language used by this specific
brand and makes this product increase the number of users. Apparently in
advertising the use of language is very important because it is very influential
on sales.
Features used in Fair & lovely advertisements such as Nomination, use
of nouns, not verbs and scientific evidence, emotive words, Switching code,
celebrity support, disjunctive tone patterns and other features.
CHAPTER III
1. Conclusion
The purpose of this task is to analyze beauty products "fair & lovely" to
see the representations that exist and how producers manipulate the ideology of
women.
Thus it can be concluded that in advertising the use of language is very
influential to increase consumer interest and product users. In addition, the
vocabulary used in beauty product is an ideological dilemma Based on data
analysis, it can be summarized most clearly The theme in advertising is the ideal
appearance or looking for women.
The findings indicate that women will look more beautiful with wrinkle-
free eyes, without scars. And for all these purposes only Fair & lovely is perfect
and the desired product. Fairclough's 3 The dimension model explains the
relationship between discourse and ideology.
