Aspects of precedent names usage in Russian Islamic discourse
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of precedent phenomena usage of sacred names Allah and Muhammad in Russian Islamic discourse within the polylingual situation in Russian Muslim space. The analysis of some Islamic messages showed that in case of the Russian-speaking mass communication there are used the precedent phenomena in Islamic discourse 1) close to Arabic original forms and transliterated to the Cyrillic alphabet in a written form; 2) translated into Russian and complement Arabic original words or substitute them being partly changed in semantics.
