This is called as digital era where people have their ability to do everything in particular activity in business, such as to sell or to promote their products to the customers or the audiences. In this case, marketing strategy is needed. One of the strategies of marketing is through advertisements. We have ever wondered why brands spend so much to be heard and to be seen through TV commercials and newspaper Hence, this is the power of advertisements to persuade publics, the action of making generally known to the attention of the public. Advertisement is basically used to persuade public or audience. It is a means of communication with the users of a product or service. The attention of the audiences through advertisements is not easy to get as they have their own consideration to buy a product that is shown in media. The language used in advertisement has a great contribution in influencing the audienceAos mind to buy the products. In this case, advertisement must portray the advantages of the product as its selling point, not only through interesting language but also through the images in it. The language and images used in the advertisement should be an eye-ear catching as the audience or customer would interest to buy the products. The language of advertisement releases in such variations that is based on the customersAo need. The language of advertising is AuLanguage in use with its believable, readable, well connotated and adaptableAy (Bollen, 1981:. These characteristics refer to the qualification of advertising language with the form and messages in it. The way the advertisements serve the excitement of the products through language and images could be highlighted by using Tagline is a catchphrase or slogan, especially as used in advertising, or the punch line of a joke. Taglines can be used in marketing materials and The idea behind the concept is to create a memorable dramatic phrase that will sum up the tone and premise of an audio/visual product, or to reinforce and to strengthen the audience's memory of a literary product. Tagline is usually seen with the companyAos name and logo. It can range from one to three short of sentences that are identified by the use of deixis. There are three main uses of tagline. first, it helps to convey the companyAos goal, value or unique selling preposition. Second, it helps to show brand and third, it helps to differentiate company from competitors. In such countries with different sociocultural context would also bring different taglines in the sense of its demographic consent. In short, the advertiser must consider the sociocultural aspect of a community revealed by the taglines embodied in the Since we know the advantages of having a tagline, now there is one example of the common types of tagline. We may use them as a guide or For example, the tagline. AoBecause youAore worth itAo in the advertisement of LAoOREAL PARIS consists of second person deixis AoyouAoreAo, which refers to customer. It can be seen through its target oriented. means that AoyouAoreAo refers to customer, since the customer sense of self-worth. Another example: AuWe make people flyAy of Lion Air. In this tagline. AoWeAo in Lion AirAos tagline represents the Lion Air Here. AoweAo stands for the first Scope: Journal of English Language Teaching. Vol. No. Sept 2016, 77-89 person plural. The function of AoweAo in this tagline to inform the audience that Lion Air is an air transportation company that has power to make Aopeople flyAo in connotative meaning. From the two examples, it is clear that taglines represent the meaning that the advertisement conveys. Semiotics could be referred as signs where the signs themselves represent information of things in such respects, such as the information about objects, events or even cultures. Every sign has its own background, particularly of the socio-cultural phenomena of a By such signs given from surroundings, semiotics takes place as a system that rules out the meaning emerged from those signs. Semiotics learns the systems, rules, conventions that mark those signs have meaning (Preminger, 2. This means that every sign contributes to the judgment of meaning, and advertisement is one of the examples that serve various judgment of meaning form their audience. The use of signs clearly reflects the meaning directly to the objects As the meaning of advertisement is massively embodied from the use of taglines, deixis has the main role in characterizing its meaning, in this case, the meaning of products. influencing the audience, the advertiser uses attractive and interesting language especially use deixis. For instance, in advertisement of cigarette is displayed in previous years ago, the advertiser uses AuU are UAy as tagline. Here, second person deixis AoyouAo in the letter U is uttered as AoyouAo, meanwhile people knew U as one of the letters. There are some reasons for using word in single letters, they are such as limited space and time, for example in writing SMS people tend to simplify the words into single letter in order to make it simple and eye catching. Then be up to date because here the Deixis in Taglines (Siti Nurani and Nico Harare. advertiser uses this style to go along with the target of audience as teenagers. Here the functions of second person deixis to emphasize to identify as teenagers. Deixis is pointing or indicating via utterance and relating to spatial-temporal A deictic word or a word that has reference, which can be shifted and moved based on the speaker Deixis in general divided in three types, namely: person deixis, time deixis and place deixis. Person deixis relates to personal pronouns, time deixis deals with the time utterance and place deixis concerns to the encoding of the location of the speaker reference in Essentially, the deictic expression can be used in two ways. are gestural and symbolic ways. According to Levinson . the gestural deictic can only be interpreted with referent to an audio visual tactile, and in general a physical, monitoring of speech event. The symbolic deictic is the deictic terms require for their interpretation on knowledge of the basic spatial-temporal parameters of the speech event. Deixis deals with the connections among the situation, the speaker, place and time the world is uttered. Furthermore. Levinson . also affirms that essentially deixis concerns with the ways in which languages encode feature of the context of utterance or speech event and thus also concerns with ways in which the interpretation of utterances depend on the analysis of that context of utterances. It means that deixis relates to language and context because the deictic word has reference based on the context of the language, which is uttered and the immediate context is with the speaker. Deixis is a word whose referent can change depending on the speakerAos position and in one time and situation (Kaswanti, 1. It means that deictic words are words with a reference point, which is determined by the speaker and his position in space and time. The meaning of one sign is really influenced by another sign as the impact of the interplay of other elements, such as culture and social discourse. This will lead to the other sense of meaning itself, that is, additional meaning . and signified meaning . If all language phenomena are assumed to be signs, then socio-cultural semiotic analysis is assigned (Barthes in Sobur. As far as semiotic analysis is concerned, the socio-cultural aspect is intended to be analyzed as a major aspect of understanding the meaning, in this case, the meaning of the use of deixis that characterize the taglines in such Many scholars have carried out deixis analysis in some particular Some of them are Christopher . and Samosir, et al. These scholars analyzed and investigated deixis analysis in such discussions, such Aupersuasive strategyAy of deixis and personalization in advertising slogans by Christopher . and Audescriptive quantitative designAy on deixis used in Jakarta Post by Samosir, et al.

The use of deixis functions to identify person interaction as it is seen from the type of person deixis as the dominant type of deixis found in this research. METHOD The focus of the research is on the analysis of the types of deixis used in taglines by examining its socio-cultural semiotic function. The data is analyzed by using AuSign MappingAy of Roland Barthes in Sobur . to identify the socio-cultural semiotic function which derives from its signifier and signified social context, such as emphasizing, informing, persuading and challenging.
