Youth Culture Protest and its Reflection on the English Music Bands’ Names // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2007. Issue 4 (67). P. 30-36

Lingo-cultural paradigm in the modern linguistics allows new insights into the language-culture relations. The paper deals with the youth culture analysis, concentrating on protest as one of the youth culture basic characteristics. Various manifestations of protest are studied on the basis of the names of contemporary British and American music bands. Thorough etymological, derivational, definitional, quantitative analyses of the group names as well as lingo-cultural commentary allowed investigating the forms youth protest takes.
