letters of the body copy is standard type. The degree of boldness for the headline is standard bold type, and the degree of boldness for the body copy is also standard bold
type. The letters used in both headline and body copy are Roman type. The capitalization of the headline follows the up style rule, which all of the words
are capitalized. The indentation of the headline follows the flush left head rule. Even though the headline is not really flush to the left, but the head is more than one line.
b. Phonological Aspects Since the data of the research are from printed media, the pronunciations of data
actually become unknown. The phonological aspects in this analysis are used to give additional information about how the slogans are pronounced. The phonetic
transcription of the slogan is: ð ə ɡreɪt ˈnaʃənəl drɪŋk at
ð ə ɡreɪt
ˈnaʃənəl ɡeɪm. The pattern of the slogan is found to be like this: The Great Na | tion al Drink | at | the Great Na | tion al Game
w w s w w s w w w s w w s From the pattern above, it can be concluded that the meter of the slogan is free verse.
It has an offbeat syllable at in the middle of the sentence. There are four feet with trochaic pattern. The first and second are less heavily stressed than the third. The
alliteration can be seen in the initial sound of “The Great National, The Great N
ational”, since the words the ðə, great ɡreɪt, and national ˈnaʃənəl are mentioned twice. The repetition occurs when words “The Great National” are
mentioned twice. c. Lexical Features

noun is always written in capital letter. Coca-Cola, or Coke, is the proper noun of this study, since it is the brand of the beverage. In The Great National Drink at the Great
National Game slogan this proper noun did not appear.
