摘要:

依据语言类别模型(LCM),本文从语言学视角检验消费者在网络评论中使用的语言。结果表明,对于正面和负面的产品经历,当消费者描述的经历与他们的品牌态度相一致的时候,他们使用更加抽象的措辞。这种效应不能被抽象的和具体的语言之间的效价差异所解释。具体地,正面网络评论中的抽象语言导致评论浏览者对网络评论者有一个更加正面的品牌态度的推断和对考虑中的品牌有更高的购买意愿;然而,对于负面网络评论则发现相反的结果。

Abstract:

Based on the Linguistic Category Model, it tries to examine the language that consumers use in online reviews from the perspective of linguistics. The results show that consumers use more abstract terms when they describe experiences that are in line with the valence of their brand attitude for both positive and negative product experiences. This effect cannot be explained by differences in valence between abstract and concrete language. Specifically, for the receiver, abstract language in positive online reviews leads to the inference that reviewers have a more positive brand attitude and to a higher buying intention for the brand under consideration; however, abstract language in negative online reviews leads to the inference that reviewers have a less positive brand attitude and to a lower buying intention for the brand under consideration.

Key words: Online reviews, Language abstraction, Brand attitude, Buying intention
