  • The Language of Corporate Names: Historical, Social, and Linguistic Factors in the Evolution of Technology Corporation Naming Practices
    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I LiBRARY THE LANGUAGE OF CORPORATE NAMES: HISTORICAL, SOCIAL, AND LINGUISTIC FACTORS IN THE EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION NAMING PRACTICES A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN LINGUISTICS MAY 2005 By Barry Cowan Dissertation Committee: Michael Forman, Chairperson William 0'Grady Kenneth Rehg Andrew Wong Geoffrey White ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As I have approached this stage, the end of my academic career as a student, I've been washed over by waves of sentimentality and surprising floods ofemotion. I never could have navigated to this point on my own, and the acknowledgements that follow cannot begin to express or repay my gratitude. I'll start with the professors that helped put me on the right track and guide me to this place. Joe Axelrod and Tom Scovel at San Francisco State University reached out to me when I was a shy underachieving student. At the University of Hawai'i, Byron Bender, Robert Blust, and Patricia Donegan were the fIrst ones to set me on the right path in Linguistics. Ann Peters took me under her wing for most ofmy time at UH, and I wouldn't have made it this far without her kind support and friendship. The members of my dissertation committee have all provided support and leadership in unique ways. Ken Rehg was my fIrst phonology professor at UH, he was on my comps committee, and he came in late, but with characteristic enthusiasm and interest to be on my dissertation committee.

  • LINGUISTIC CONTRIBUTIONS to the SUCCESS of SILICON VALLEY's HI-TECH GLOBAL BRANDS by Chuansheng He
    LINGUISTIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SUCCESS OF SILICON VALLEY'S HI-TECH GLOBAL BRANDS by Chuansheng He Brand naming is an important domain of language use in modern commercial society and a field of potential pragmatic interest and investigation. Brand naming is a one-way communicative activity in which brand names are created to communicate the right information to the right people in a right manner. This article argues that linguistic characteristics of brand names can help contribute to brand success in two aspects: semantic appositeness and multilingual communi- cation. The article chooses Silicon Valley as a case study to demonstrate how the linguistic characteristics of hi-tech global brand names ensure an effective and relevant communication to consumers on a global basis. 1. The linguistic power of international brand names What's in a name? When it comes to a brand, it means enormous value. In an age of global economy, building global brand names is the ultimate goal for companies all over the world. Global brand names are the most valuable assets to their owners and are known all over the world, such as Coca-Cola, Ford, Goodyear, Ivory, Levi's, Maxwell House, etc. The success of these global brand names is in part due to the result of a long history of advertising and promotion. It took these brand names a hundred years or so, and several generations, to become household words. Most of them are just surnames of founders, such as Colgate, Cadbury, Heinz, Kellogg's, etc. By brand name criteria1, they are not 'good' names because they lack the distinctiveness of trademarks, and hence they may not be registered as such today.
