Speaker: Dr Vladislav Alpatov Moscow City Pedagogical University
What are the origins and the cultural underpinning of the well-known names: Tchaikovskiy, Pushkin, Chekhov, Lenin and, of course, Putin? Prince Harry Charlsovich Windzorov and Katyusha Middleton – what are the conventions in Russian naming? “Kind” Dobrynya, “humble” Smirnoff and “revolutionary” Jaures – what is the world view behind names of different epochs? These and other questions will be explored in a seminar by Dr Vladislav Alpatov, a linguist and name scholar from Nottingham’s partner institution, Moscow City Pedagogical University.
