Annonseannonser

Annonseannonser is a Norwegian linguistic term describing a tautological compound formed by repeating the word annonse, meaning advertisement. It is not a standard lexical item in formal Norwegian; rather it appears in discussions of language, media, and humor as an example of reduplication and word formation.

Formation and meaning: The combination of annonse and the plural annonser yields a compound that heightens redundancy, effectively rendering “advertisement advertisements” or “ads about ads.” The operation is linguistic rather than a practical advertising category, and the term is used to illustrate language phenomena rather than describe a market segment.

Usage: You may encounter the term in linguistic blogs, classroom exercises, or social-media posts that discuss how Norwegian compounds can be created by repetition. It is not common in professional advertising discourse and should be understood as a linguistic curiosity rather than a marketing term.
