Resumen

A partir de un enfoque retórico y pragmático (Teoría de la Relevancia) sobre las emociones, este artículo analiza el valor retórico emocional de expresiones de identidad cultural o patriótica en páginas web británicas dedicadas a la publicidad del té. Mi hipótesis propone que dichas expresiones se emplean como estrategia persuasiva encaminada a desarrollar la empatía de los consumidores potenciales hacia el producto y la posible identificación con él. Los resultados de la investigación apuntan a que tales expresiones, entendidas como identidad social, memoria histórica y sentido de pertenencia u orgullo por el propio país, desempeñan una triple función creativa: a nivel retórico contribuyen al diseño de un texto estilísticamente atractivo; a nivel informativo introducen un elemento inesperado en el anuncio; y a nivel pragmático involucran al receptor en la recuperación de un mensaje que puede adaptarse a experiencias personales concretas.
