  • 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.

    Western Division Housing Court Unofficial Reporter of Decisions Volume 2 Nov. 23, 2019 — Jan. 16, 2020 (and certain older decisions) Released Feb. 14, 2020 ABOUT This is an unofficial reporter for decisions issued by the Western Division Housing Court. The editors collect the decisions on an ongoing basis for publication in sequentially numbered volumes. Presently, this unofficial reporter is known as the “Western Division Housing Court Reporter.” Inasmuch as the reader’s audience is familiar with this unofficial reporter, the reader is invited to cite from these decisions by using the abbreviated reporter name “W.Div.H.Ct.” WHO WE ARE This is a collaborative effort by and among several individuals representative of the Court, the local landlord bar, and the local tenant bar: Hon. Dina Fein, First Justice, Western Division Housing Court Hon. Robert Fields, Associate Justice, Western Division Housing Court Hon. Michael Doherty, Clerk Magistrate, Western Division Housing Court Aaron Dulles, Esq., Community Legal Aid Peter Vickery, Esq., Bobrowski & Vickery, LLC Messrs. Dulles and Vickery serve as co-editors for coordination and execution of this project. OUR PROCESS The Court has agreed to set aside copies of all its written decisions. Periodically, the editors collect and scan these decisions, employing commercial-grade “optical character recognition” software to create text-searchable PDF versions. On occasion, the editors also receive copies of decisions directly from advocates, which helps ensure completeness. When the editors have gathered a sufficient quantity of pages to warrant publication, they compile the decisions, review the draft compilation with the Court for approval, and publish the new volume.
