Abstract
Corpus linguistics (CL) has been the most effective method of linguistic research in the past few decades; it gives the real language data and quantitative evidence. The integration of corpus linguistics into onomastic studies has opened the door for studying structural, semantic, pragmatic and functional properties of proper names in different kinds of language. The study examines how large electronic corpora can be used to study the frequency, distribution, collocational patterns and context-specific use of anthroponyms, toponyms, ethnonyms and other types of proper names. Corpus-based approaches allow researchers to study naming trends, language variation and semantic changes across different periods and sociocultural contexts. Moreover, corpus tools contribute to identifying the repetitive patterns of proper names and also provide data for lexicographic and linguistic analysis. We focus particularly on corpus linguistics in the context of contemporary onomastic research in literature, media and historical documents. We also review some of the work of famous scholars who point out the importance of corpus linguistics in the context of communicating and cultural aspects of proper names. We find that corpus linguistics not only enhances the accuracy and objectivity of onomastic studies; but it also contributes in a more nuanced way to the discourse about language, culture and identity. Therefore, corpus-based onomastic analysis is an interesting direction for linguistic research and interdisciplinary work.
The paper explores the complexities and variations in the neological developments in terminology related to the study of lexemes and the lexicon in English. Neology and terminological variation are essential for knowledge development in scientific communication, with linguistics presenting unique challenges due to its constructed ontological and epistemological reality. The research investigates neoterms in lexicon studies, examining semantic and lexical neoterms, their word-formation patterns, and conceptual complexities, aiming to understand the evolution of terminology in this subdomain. The employed methodology is qualitative-descriptive and synchronic, using wordformation analysis, definitional analysis, and domain conceptual analysis to explore the neoterms in lexicon research. The analyses reveal that most of the neoterms do not lead to the same units of understanding, reflecting different theoretical models and conceptualizations of the lexicon as a characteristic of language and its architecture. The difficulties in achieving a unified ontology of linguistics and the constant need for new terms due to the constructed nature of linguistic categories and the diversity of languages are highlighted.

Phraseological units determine the unique lexical narratives and linguistic identity of each language, which is a unique set of structural, functional and cultural features that distinguish one language from another, form its identity and provide its speakers with a sense of belonging to a certain community. Phraseological units in the context of use in business Ukrainian are considered from the position of stable word combinations that contribute to accuracy, brevity, officiality of documents and business communication. The study focuses on the analysis of the stylistics of phraseological units in modern business speech and academic writing. It was found that the main phraseological units of the studied category include clichés, lexicalized compounds and terminological names that focus on a specific subject and avoid excessive emotionality. Typical phraseological units used in academic writing are analyzed: terminological names of phenomena or concepts, nomenclature names, proper book phraseological units, lexicalized compounds and compound terminological names. The article substantiates that phraseological units in academic writing primarily implement informative, nominative and imperative functions. It is proven that in academic writing of the Ukrainian language slang, colloquial and emotionally colored phraseological units are practically not used, while the key emphasis is on clericalisms and clichés. The main stylistic features are defined as terminology, lack of expression, standardization and the predominance of stable word combinations of book vocabulary. It is substantiated that in academic writing phraseological units are used extremely rarely, and idioms are practically excluded from use. In addition, it is noted that business discourse has formed a system of its own phraseological units. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that it summarizes the important importance of phraseological units for academic writing, taking into account the ability of phraseological units to replace one-word verbs, which gives greater clarity, formality and brevity to speech and documents, and helps to avoid emotional coloring of discourse.

Before the late nineteenth century, linguistic research relied heavily on dictionaries, but by the end of the century two European scholars, G. Wenker and J. Gillieron, revolutionized linguistic methodology with two very different approaches to data collection in Europe. One hundred years later, just a few years before the founding of Masyarakat Linguistik Indonesia, two other European linguists, G. Diffloth and B. Nothofer, began their fieldwork projects in Island Southeast Asia. Their methodologies—connected yet differing in some details—have been explained in print and online sources. This essay focuses on linguistic fieldwork and research methodology based on empirical and inductive principles by reviewing the methods of Diffloth and Nothofer and comparing their approaches to those procedures used in a few recent linguistic studies of local languages in Malaysia and Indonesia. The underlying importance of studying the social history and the geography of the language communities involved in research projects as well as the need for cooperative interaction between researchers and language informants are the only basis for credible linguistic analysis. As hundreds of regional languages in Southeast Asia are threatened with obsolescence, linguists must not only document these languages but explore modes of cooperation with communities seeking to maintain their heritage languages from generation to generation. Computer programs such as ELAN can be used not only to document endangered languages but to revitalize them as well. As linguists, we need to rethink our procedures and enhance our interactions with the language communities of these islands.

The article reveals the educational potential of morphological analysis in studying homonyms across different parts of speech (POS) based on generalised POS knowledge. It also outlines the history of the issue, as well as the stages and techniques of comparative morphological analysis in Russian language lessons. The study utilised theoretical analysis of relevant scientific literature, comparative morphological analysis of linguistic units, observation of the teaching process, and analysis of best teaching practices. The article clarifies the meaning of the term of "grammatical (morphological) analysis" in relation to the goals of teaching Russian in the modern school. Moreover, it describes and discusses the possibilities of using this technique when studying grammatical homonyms (i. e., homonyms belonging to different parts of speech) in middle and secondary school. The paper gives examples of assignments designed to form and enhance skills in comparative morphological analysis of homonyms belonging to different parts of speech. Additionally, methodological explanatory notes on the tasks are provided.

The work is a fragment of the research project «Medical Discourse as an Object of Comprehensive Analysis: Linguistics, Linguodidactics, Intercultural Communication, Literary Studies» (state registration number: 0124U001310). The aim of the study is to provide a systematic analysis of linguistic and speech‑ related deviations from normative usage identiՔed in the process of mastering Latin medical terminology by future physicians, to determine the psycholinguistic and linguodidactic causes of their occurrence, and to outline ways of preventing and minimizing them. The relevance of the topic is determined by the need to improve the level of professional linguistic competence of future physicians and the necessity to enhance the methodology of teaching medical Latin. The methodological basis of the study includes linguistic, psycholinguistic, and linguodidactic approaches, as well as analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization, observation, contrastive analysis, and structural‑ semantic analysis. The research results revealed the main types of abnormalities, identiՔed the causes of their occurrence, and determined the role of interlanguage interference and cognitive mechanisms in the formation of errors. It has been substantiated that the analysis of abnormalities is an important tool not only for improving the methodology of teaching medical Latin, but also for gaining a deeper understanding of the processes of acquiring professional terminology. The conclusions demonstrate the necessity of a comprehensive approach to preventing abnormalities in the learning process. Based on the research Քndings, a system of methodological recommendations aimed at preventing and minimizing typical errors has been proposed. Prospects for further research related to the study of cognitive mechanisms underlying the generation of abnormalities, as well as the in̪uence of the digital language environment and AI on the formation of professional speech among medical students, have been outlined.

Aim.
The article aims to investigate the functional potential of temporal forms of the Spanish verb using headlines in Spanish-language media. By collecting a representative sample of newspaper headlines and conducting a quantitative analysis of the distribution of verb tenses in the collected corpus, the authors address two key objectives: a qualitative interpretation of the pragmatic role of verb forms and their comparison across two time periods – 2021 and 2025 (data for these periods are being systematized for the first time). The object of study consists of temporal verb forms, analyzed for their role in headlines of contemporary Spanish-language newspaper texts.
Methodology.
The use of cutting-edge tools for statistical analysis of linguistic material, particularly the AntConc platform, underpins the study's novelty. Furthermore, the interdisciplinary approach combines linguistic analysis with media perception theory, revealing the mechanism by which tenses enhance the reader's emotional presence. The research methodology is based on a continuous sample of Spanish-language headlines from the online versions of the newspapers “20 minutos” and “El País” for 2021 and 2025 (200 and 150 units, respectively), subjected to a stepwise analysis across two time periods to identify the pragmatic role of word forms and analyze their dynamics comparatively.
Results.
After defining the criteria for selecting the linguistic material, a qualitative, quantitative, and comparative analysis of the collected corpus of headlines was carried out, the results of which allowed us to draw an unambiguous conclusion about the absolute dominance of the grammeme Presente de Indicativo in the meaning of “historical present” for expressing the relevance of an event in both time slices, as well as a significant increase in the use of grammemes Pretérito Perfecto, caused by such processes as globalization and digitalization of the global media space. Furthermore, a complete decline in the use of complex past tenses was noted, indicating a desire to reduce the perception of modern newspaper headlines.
Research implications.
The obtained results introduce previously undescribed functions of Spanish verb temporal forms in digital communication into the field of scientific discussion, not so much as means of chronologically anchoring a situation, but rather as a pragmatic marker of audience engagement. This provides grounds for reconsidering the traditional notion of the purely grammatical meaning of these indicators and considering time as a mediative resource that ensures a “here and now” effect. It is possible to highlight the prospect of applicability of the two-stage analysis procedure (manual selection and AntConc filtering) to the material of other Romance languages as a tool for operational monitoring of shifts in the grammatical systems of natural languages. The identified preferences (the increase in the frequency of the grammatical expressions Presente and Perfecto, the disappearance of Imperfecto) may prove useful for journalists and editors as an evidence base when creating “clickable” headlines aimed at a multilingual audience. Finally, the list of high-frequency tenses and illustrative examples can be used as teaching materials for courses in translation, media writing and stylistics as a scientifically confirmed current norm of modern Spanish.
