[lg policy] a semiotic analysis

Sun Feb 1 18:39:01 UTC 2015

Dear Dr. Mostari,

I would also add to the list of possibilities here the topic of "foreign
branding"
which is something well-known in the field of advertising, but not well
studied
in sociolinguistics.  You can (1) just google the topic and see what comes
up;
(2) Consult the bibliographies of two excellent papers done by students in
my class (Language and Popular Culture):

Product Evaluations." Journal of International Business Studies 13:89- 99.
