| Abstract: | The paper is aimed at comparing Russian anthroponymic nicknames used by young people (Novosibirsk school and university students) over the past decade (2004–2014). quantitative analysis and questionnaire interpretation analysis prove the general tendency towards the reduction of nicknames and nicknaming practices among high school and university students, accompanied by a decreasing interest in nicknaming as a creative process. As a result the corpus of nicknames is undergoing changes concerning predominant types and functions of nicknames with descriptive and evaluative nicknames losing their popularity and giving way to non-descriptive and neutral informal anthroponymic nominations, respectively. |
