  • On Romanian Political Nicknames
    ÀÍÒÐÎÏÎÍÈÌÈß GIOROCEANU, Alina (Craiova, Romania) ON ROMANIAN POLITICAL NICKNAMES Çà ïðîçâèùàòà íà ðóìúíñêèòå ïîëèòèöè On Romanian Political Nicknames The nickname which is given to a person and is initially used by a small group of people turns into a byname as the person becomes more popular in society. The byname contains indications about the individuality or the public image of its carrier. There is also a connection with the physical and psychic features of the person or to activities or events connected with him or her. On the political scene (the Romanian political scene is no exception) a byname is used as a weapon for disctediting or demonizing political oppo- nents. Linguistic analysis of bynames of Romanian politicians shows the variety of linguistic resources and means used in the creation of a byname such as contraction, composition, derivation and abbreviation. Keywords: nickname, byname, politics, truncation, composition, derivation, ab- breviation O poreclã, atribuitã unei persoane ºi utilizatã, la început, în colectivitãþi mai mici, odatã ce intrã în conºtiinþa publicã devine supranume. Supranumele capteazã indicii despre personalitatea sau imaginea/percepþia publicã a posesorului. Dincolo de nume, existã legãturi cu trãsãturile fizice sau psihice ale persoanei sau cu o acþiune/întâmplare a acesteia. Pe scena politicã (scena politicã româneascã nu face excepþie!), supranumele este folosit ca armã pentru discreditarea sau demonizarea oponenþilor politici. Analiza lingvisticã a supranumelor din politica româneascã va scoate în evidenþã varietatea resurselor ºi mijloacelor limbii utilizate în atribuirea unui supranume (trunchierea, compunerea, derivarea, abrevierea). A name given to someone by few people, once become public knowledge, is often used instead of the person’s formal name.

In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.
