Phonetic Symbolism and Brand Name Preferences in French and English
This paper reviews an experiment conducted among French-English bilinguals at an English-language business school in France. The main purpose of the experiment was to determine whether phonetic symbolism effects obtained in past research (Lowrey & Shrum, forthcoming) would manifest themselves in languages other than English. In addition, another factor investigated included processing in one's native language vs. a 2nd language (Luna & Peracchio, 2005). A total of 54 students participated in a 2 (language) by 2 (product category) replication and extension of previous research, and results indicated a significant main effect for product category (as previously obtained) and a significant interaction between language and product category).
