This paper focuses on the understanding of visual rhetorical figures as they appear in today's globalized
advertising. A sound theoretical model (i.e., Phillips and McQuarrie 2004) is first reviewed to select a good
representative sampling (i.e., 9 advertisements) of the behaviour domain measured. Then, a population of 60
English language students are questioned regarding these 9 advertisements. This study uses a combined
methodology, resorting to basic quantitative data to reveal qualitative findings. Our discussion supports prior
research (Callister and Stern 2008: 148) indicating that culture is essential for image understanding in a crosscultural environment and stands in opposition to those who act on the assumption that visuals are universal and
therefore understandable in all cultures of the world (Levitt 1983). [-]
