In the thesis the object of study is the names of creative groups, in particular the teams of the Klub Vesyólykh i Nakhódchivykh (hereinafter - KVN) or Club of the Funny and Inventive, rock bands, pop groups, folk ensembles, choreographic groups, etc.
The aim is to generalize and describe the structural features of NCT in the anthroponymicon of modern Russian, to conduct their cognitive-semantic analysis taking into account national and cultural specifics, full or partial coincidence of associative connections of speakers of idioethnic languages.
Research methods. The study of language material was conducted using both general scientific (analysis and synthesis) and actual linguistic methods (component and contextual analysis).
Theoretical value of the research is due to its focus on solving modern problems of the theory of onomastics in general and NCT in particular. The obtained results of the research deepen the knowledge about the names of creative groups, outline the place of NCT in the system of proprial vocabulary. The study reproduces the picture of cultural and mental development, presents extralingual factors of anthroponymicon functioning. The comments submitted to the linguistic facts will make it possible to intensify the formation of names and diversify the onomastic space.
The practical relevance of the obtained results of the dissertation is that its conclusions and generalizations are a contribution to Onomastics and cognitive linguistics. The obtained results can be applied in theoretical courses of stylistics of the Russian language, in courses of choice of students in cognitive linguistics. Some results may be useful in the development of teaching materials on Onomastics for students studying Russian, for foreign students, as well as for writing term papers and qualifications. The factual material recorded and analyzed in the dissertation should be used for the preparation of textbooks and textbooks on onomastics, in lexicographic practice, in particular to replenish the register of onomastic space. In addition, the study is useful for historians, culturologists, ethnologists and local historians.
The scientific novelty of the obtained results is that in the work for the first time within the research field of modern linguistic pragmatics the names of creative teams of the XXI century are comprehensively analyzed. in the anthroponymicon of the Russian language, its linguistic register is enriched with new onomastic material; information about the regularities of the formation and functioning of onyms as a kind of lexical units, which over a long period of development have accumulated in their communicative meanings’ various pragmatic elements of semantics. The work investigates the cognitive and semantic features of NCT, developed a new method of their analysis, which can be applied to other lexical units, studied their word-forming types, improved the theoretical basis of linguistic research of onyms; for the first time the principles of describing the semantics of ergonomics are presented and substantiated, their place in the language system in general is outlined.
Directions for future research. The proposed dissertation opens prospects for further research in such areas as comparative, structural and cognitive-semantic analysis of NCT in the modern anthroponymicon of Russian, Ukrainian, English.
