Trnava: University of SS Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, 2020, V (2), December 2020, p. 2-52. ISSN 2453-8035 Abstract: The present paper examines the nature, formation patterns, types, and correlations of poreionymic backronyms, i.e. phrases serving as alternative interpretations of acronyms and non- acronyms designating transport brands, namely cars, both on theoretical and empirical planes. Since backronyms are likely to be confused with other linguistic phenomena, such as acrostics, apronyms, disabbreviations, and recursive acronyms, the differences between these notions are also analysed in the article. Key words: backronym, poreionym (transport brand name), acronym, non-acronym, acrostic, apronym, disabbreviation, recursive acronym, language game. 1. Introduction The postmodernism era is often said to be "marked by a shift from truth to fiction and narrative, by a change from the world of experience to that of language, and by the 1 This publication is also part of a sociolinguistic diversity investigation within Project № 2020.02/0241 (Ecolinguistic Modes of Ukrainian Discursive Space in the European Multicultural Continuum) supported by the National Research Foundation of Ukraine as "Leading and young scientists research support". 2 ISSN 2453-8035 demise of the three great metanarratives of science, religion and politics with their replacement by local language-games" (Lecercle 1990: 76).

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The thesis seeks to examine whether the concept of the British policy network framework helps to explain policy change in Japan. For public policy studies in Japan, such an examination is significant because the framework has been rarely been used in analysis of Japanese policy. For public policy studies in Britain and elsewhere, such an examination would also bring benefits as it would help to answer the important question of whether it can be usefully applied in the other contexts.
