The Place of the Internet Name in the Anthroponymic System of the Language (Comparative Analysis)
Abstract
At the turn of XX-XXI, the anthroposystem of the Internet, including the naming system, is still being formed, which provides a unique opportunity to observe how the formation and formation of a new onomastic category is taking place. Cyberspace is an incredibly rich source of anthroponomastic data that deserves much more attention than it has received to date. In the article Internet - names are defined as a virtual name (virtual anthroponym), which is used during communication using electronic means and on the Internet. Internet name is a special form of personal names in the virtual space.
The relevance of this study lies in the fact that Internet names, as a relatively new phenomenon, have not yet received an exhaustive definition as a linguistic category.
The aim of the study is to solve this issue through a comparative analysis of names on the Internet and three other anthroponomic categories: pseudonyms, pseudonyms and official names.
Each of the selected classes makes it possible to describe, by means of comparison, different characteristics of the Internet name. The author of the article describes strategies for self-naming and self-presentation both online and offline, and also correlates the use cases for each class of real anthroponymic categories (pseudonyms, nicknames and official names) with Internet names. The article also provides examples that demonstrate similarities regarding the creation and use of real names and names on the Internet. Based on this comparative analysis, it was concluded that the Internet - a name - is an integral, full-fledged unit of the anthroponymicon of the language.
