“…Numerous researchers from distinct countries have carried out extensive studies on surnames, with a majority of the findings centered on anthropology and population genetics (Cheshire, 2014), geography and genealogy (Cheshire & Longley, 2012), demography and social mobility (Mazières & Roth, 2018), history and migrations (Sousa, 2019), biology, and linguistics as a source of information for research.…”

The study aims to investigate how surnames influence academic achievements and hierarchy in higher education. It analyzes millions of book circulation records at Nanjing Normal University’s library from 2012 to 2023. The study employs various data analysis techniques such as Kendall coefficients, binary logistic regression, factor analysis, scale optimization, survival analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling to examine the reading and writing patterns of the top 300 surnames. The results are analyzed within the framework of female-dominated education and teacher preparation. The results suggest a noticeable pattern of consistency in 12-year book borrowing and renewing habits within the top 300 reader surnames, and a complex hierarchical misalignment between the reader hierarchy, book category hierarchy, and author hierarchy, resulting in a staggered correspondence. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, readers with surnames above the average have shown a decreased willingness to use the book renewal service. This decreased intention has had a more pronounced effect on the logical rationality of readers, resulting in a negative impact on females and literary books, and a positive impact on STEM books.

The development of electronic communication brings to rapid language and speech-communicative changes. These changes make the scientific task of their timely conceptualization urgent. The purpose of this study is to generalize and analyze the research results on the onyms functioning in the electronic environment and Internet communication. The analysis highlights two the main areas of the research that have developed in science to date. The functioning of the proper name in the Internet discourse is the study object of the first group. The Internet environment is mainly a source of language material according to this group research, which is analyzed considering the electronic communications features (its polycode, informality, interactivity). The feature of this group research is that its’ the main object is represented either by specific linguistic phenomena or special types of discourse, while electronic communication is a secondary feature for its highlight. The second research direction involves the study of new onomastic phenomena that owe their existence to the context of the electronic environment and its communicative, pragmatic, and technical features. This research direction implies both the detection of new types of onyms that were generated by Internet communications, and the description of their characteristic semantic, pragmatic, stylistic, and formal grammatical features. A special status among the objects studied in the second direction is given to such a phenomenon as a nickname, which implements a whole set of features that allow us to talk about its principal novelty and uniqueness. A nickname is the result of autonomy in terms of pragmatic and communication. This contributes to its use as a means of self-presentation and expression; also, a nickname has noticeable formal features that represent the ways of its construction (free choice of motivational bases, language play, active use of non-alphabetic characters). There is also noted an impact of new phenomena in Internet onomastics on the onomastic system and emphasized the need for closer attention to this influence.
