Purposeful Polysemy in Marketing Communication: Ethical Implications and Policy Challenges
Purposeful Polysemy in Marketing Communication: Ethical Implications and Policy Challenges by Rumaila Abbas A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Guelph, Ontario, Canada ©Rumaila Abbas, December, 2018 ABSTRACT PURPOSEFUL POLYSEMY IN MARKETING COMMUNICATION: ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS AND POLICY CHALLENGES Rumaila Abbas Advisor(s): University of Guelph, 2018 Dr. Timothy Dewhirst Past research has identified purposeful polysemy (i.e., multiple meanings in interpretation) as a strategy that enables various marketing goals to be achieved. However, an area that extant literature has largely been silent about is when polysemy can be strategically used to overcome legal boundaries. This research examines purposeful polysemy, as a practice used in varying product sectors (i.e., food, beverage, and tobacco), and explores the consumer, ethical, and policy implications that emerge from its use. This research explores whether marketers, through using verbal and visual devices, can imply multiple meanings, where one meaning pertains to a brand message (e.g., inferring a health-oriented attribute) that is navigating within a stringent regulatory environment, while additional meanings can be used as a legal and ethical defense if undergoing scrutiny for the claim being made. This thesis is organized into three separate manuscripts that have the overarching goal of examining purposeful polysemy and its potential to circumvent the spirit of policy. The first manuscript sets up a conceptual framework and uses a well established image (i.e., a heart symbol) as a demonstration of polysemy. Using a semiological and rhetorical approach, this manuscript further delves into the ethics of using such a marketing tool. -

June 2020 Alcohol People drink to socialize, celebrate, and relax. Alcohol often has a strong effect on people—and throughout history, people have struggled to understand and manage alcohol’s power. Why does alcohol cause people to act and feel differently? How much is too much? Why do some people become addicted while others do not? The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is researching the answers to these and many other questions about alcohol. -

Fish, Co-chair Professor David Collier Professor Victoria Bonnell Spring 2012 The Logic of Kleptocracy: Corruption, Repression, and Political Opposition in Post-Soviet Eurasia Copyright 2012 by Jody Marie LaPorte Abstract The Logic of Kleptocracy: Corruption, Repression, and Political Opposition in Post-Soviet Eurasia by Jody Marie LaPorte Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Jason Wittenberg, co-chair Professor Michael S. Fish, co-chair This dissertation asks why some non-democratic regimes give political opponents significant leeway to organize, while others enforce strict limits on such activities. I examine this question with reference to two in-depth case studies from post-Soviet Eurasia: Georgia under President Eduard Shevardnadze and Kazakhstan under President Nursultan Nazarbayev. While a non- democratic regime was in place in both countries, opposition was highly tolerated in Georgia, but not allowed in Kazakhstan. I argue that these divergent policies can be traced to variation in the predominant source and pattern of state corruption in each country. -
