Abstract

This study aims to analyze the sentiment of consumer reviews language towards the formation of brand image of a product in the context of online purchasing. This research focuses on how the language used in consumer reviews can influence perceptions of a product's brand image. A qualitative method is employed to gain in-depth insights into how consumers respond to existing product reviews. The sample consists of consumers who actively read other consumers' reviews before making a purchase. The results of the research show that sentiment language plays a role in shaping consumers' perceptions of a product's brand image. Positive sentiments in reviews tend to reinforce a positive brand image, while negative sentiments tend to damage it. The interpretation of sentiments is influenced by how much they align with consumers' preferences and their intensity. Strong sentiments have a more significant impact on brand image formation. Contextual factors and product characteristics also play a role in the influence of sentiment language on brand image. Products that are important to consumers have a greater impact of sentiment on brand perception.

Keywords: Sentiment Language, brand image, reviews
