Abstract

The article actualizes the study of websites as a means to promoting cities around the world and highlights the main structural and semantic characteristics of advertising sites hosted on Internet platforms. The pragmatic role of a lexical unit of advertising texts is investigated. The concepts of website and advertising text are defined, the main ways of information transfer through advertising text were described. Definitions of the concepts such as advertising, advertising text, strategy, website, and related concepts are provided. After researching the selected advertising texts, the structural and semantic characteristics of advertising on websites, and the main ways of transmitting information, such as verb sentences, simple nominative sentences, and elliptical sentences are analyzed. The pragmatic means of advertising campaigns on websites includes constructions, such as Top + Numeral, Must + V., Let + Inf, and so on. Examples of pragmatic websites are also considered. Samples and purposes of using this approach are given. There are various strategies for advertising and promoting cities and countries around the world on Internet platforms. The most popular and effective are the use of different language techniques (motivational, interrogative, negative sentences) and the strategy of the association. The advertising text is noted to embody a communicative and pragmatic guideline. In the advertising message, there is a presentation of the goods to the target audience. Thus, the main load is the language code, which is aimed at a special category of people. A small number of works on this topic indicate the need for a more detailed study of the issue.
