Among many advertising strategies there appeared recently a special one: an advertising which refersto itself in metacommunicative way.

This creates a unique metacommunicative parallel text, which forms together with other advertising elements through words and image a whole advertising. This self-referential strategy allows a recipient to recognize the advertising as a text class, because of his/ her passive knowledge. Through that an advertising meets the persuasive function of aestheticization, acceptability, comprehensibility and attractiveness.
