| Abstract: | [Aspects of morphology and character choice motivation in Internet nickname constructions] The article presents an analysis of 7456 Internet chat room nicknames. Unlike previous studies, the author does not provide a semantic analysis of nicknames; yet, the attention is centered on morphological construction tendencies. This is supplemented with an investigation of motivation for the application of selected characters in nickname construction, with the non-standard use of capital letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters being of interest. |
| Key words: | Internet chat room, nickname, morphology, character motivation |
