The purpose of this thesis is to ponder about the suggestive potential of the sound elements of radio language. To this end, we analyze the performance of voices, music, sound effects, silence and sound techniques (recording, mixing and post-recording effects such as reverberation, equalization) to understand how such suggestions are constructed through elements associated with the listener's cultural background, which create multisensory images. The analysis of radio advertising also allows us to identify the "listener model" of commercials. We believe that this work may contribute to further researches about radio language and to gain a better understanding of its potential. This work is based on a multidisciplinary approach (semiotics, sociology and musicology, for example), and the object of our analysis is radio advertising.
