Abstract
Secondary names are the units of the language that carry alternative and figurative function of naming. They occur in the language through semantic transformation such as metaphor, metonymy, symbolism, epithet and others, playing an important role in shaping public perception and constructing media narratives. The article aims at identifying the linguistic, cultural, and communicative functions of secondary names and analyzing their impact on audience interpretation of media content.References
