On Resonance: A Critical Pluralistic Inquiry Into Advertising Rhetoric

Abstract

In this paper I review, from the perspective of experimental research, studies that have examined how brands acquire cultural meaning, and suggest future research directions.McCracken's (1986) model of the meaning transfer process gained influence about thirty years ago, but experimental studies of the processes it posited have been limited in their scope.The review is organized around three questions.First, what should be the dependent variables: the types of meanings that can adhere to brands?Second, what have we learned from studies on the types of

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
