Round Table: "Precedent Names in Modern Communicative Practices"

We are pleased to announce that School of Foreign Languages is preparing a unique event as part of the V International Scientific and Practical Online Conference HSE 'Languages, Education, Development' (LED) Conference https://led.hse.ru/en/

Round Table: "Precedent Names in Modern Communicative Practices"

The study of precedent names is a significant area of modern linguistics, as these units reflect not only linguistic processes but also the cultural characteristics of the society in which they operate. Of particular research interest is the use of precedent names in modern communicative practices, a significant portion of which unfolds in the digital environment. In new communicative contexts, familiar precedent names undergo various transformations: they are reinterpreted, acquire new, often ironic, connotations of meaning, and are used in unusual functions and contexts. Furthermore, the digital environment offers ample opportunities for the creation of new precedent names, which are quickly becoming part of the communicative repertoire of modern society.

We invite you to discuss the following range of issues:

  1. Modern approaches to understanding precedent names.
  2. The pragmatic potential of precedent names.
  3. The functioning of precedent names in digital communication.
  4. The precedent name in modern terminological practice.
  5. Precedent names in meme culture.
  6. The use of precedent names in modern advertising.
  7. The precedent name and the digital word: hashtags.
  8. The functioning of precedent names in various types of discourse (political, psychological, motivational, coaching, etc.).
  9. The boundaries and limits of creativity in the use of precedent names.
