In this study, 70 national brands among men's wear brands were selected to examine linguistic characteristics of domestic national men's wear brand names. Linguistic factors which were used in national men's wear brand names were analyzed to understand their characteristics. Formative and semantic characteristics of each brand name were analyzed on the basis of the results from previous studies. It was found that long words with over four syllables are preferred than short words and single words in the form of noun are frequently used for domestic national men's wear brand names in terms of linguistic formality. English is most widely used in brand names, and European languages such as French, Spanish, and Italian are also used frequently under the influence of the country of origin. Next, the analysis result on the semantic characteristics of domestic national men's wear brand names showed that descriptive brand names are used to convey brand information directly and easily, or freestanding brand names which are absolutely irrelevant and newly coined words are chosen to create a characteristic image.

Man, Homme, Zio), and provide the information about properties and benefits related to the product such as dignity, masterpiece, and luxurious lifestyle to consumers by presenting the concept of the brand.

이 연구는 장소의 이름인 지명이 하나의 브랜드로 인식될 수 있다는 전제 하에서, 브랜드로서 지명이 갖는 가치의 본질과 그 평가 방법을 탐구하기 위한 목적으로 시작했다. 지명 브랜드는 복합적 요소를 갖는 장소의 속성이 반영되는 것이기 때문에 주체로서의 지명 사용자와 객체로서의 장소를 함께 고려하는 이해의 틀이 필요하다는 점이 제시된다. 지명의 브랜드 가치 평가를 위해 소비자의 인식과 평가를 중심으로 하는 '고객기반 브랜드 자산' 개념의 도입 가능성을 검토하고, 그 평가의 항목들이 어떻게 구체화될 수 있을지를 살펴보았다. 지명 브랜드 가치의 본질, 장소 정체성과의 관계, 장소마케팅의 영향, 지명의 노출이 갖는 의미, 지리적 표시제가 브랜드 가치에 미치는 영향, 지리적 표시 제품의 생산 범위 설정 등이 향후 연구가 필요한 개념적, 실증적 주제로 제안된다.
