Phonological Fluency: How Syllable Markedness of Brand Names Influences Consumers' Brand Attitudes

This research explores how syllable markedness of monosyllabic brand names influences consumers’ brand attitudes. In two studies, we find the relationship is mediated through processing fluency and perceived brand globalness, and moderated by consumer’s first language. However, these effects vary based on the position and numbers of the consonants.
