Имена политических событий и их онимизация в средствах массовой информации

Abstract

In this paper names of political events are to be depicted as “names in formation” and “names in context,” since their onymic status is very strongly linked to usage in the mass media. Names of political events are defined through delimitation from other name classes and subclasses and through coherence of their own characteristics. Names of political events are access indicators to information packets on singular objects of political events. They are on the periphery of onymy and possess characteristics of both common nouns and proper names. Their onymic status depends on particular pragmatics of their usage in predominantly mass media communication.
