As to English advertising language, scholars at home and abroad have made studies on it basing on different theories, which include grammatical metaphor. Grammatical metaphor is first put forward by M. A. K. Halliday. It can be classified as ideational grammatical metaphor, interpersonal grammatical metaphor and textual grammatical metaphor.

Ideational grammatical metaphor has three main types, which are nominalization, adjectivilization and verbalization.
