"调性"实际上更接近于市场,一般做市场或品牌的会很熟悉这个词,比如“品牌调性”。
这里有一篇文字,可以读一下:
Tonality concerns the tone of the messages that a company distributes through its marketing efforts. Tone might be described using many adjectives, including positive, negative, warm, caring, impersonal, confident or service-oriented. A company has to choose the right combination of words and images to build up the tone for its branding messages.
换言之,调性(tonality)是指公司在对外宣传时,通过语言文字的选择,所塑造的产品属性(对外展现的属性)。这个词源自英文单词tone,即说话的腔调。翻译成中文就成了“调性”了。
