Annotation

The relevance of the study is due to the growing research interest in the issues of regional identity in the context of the roles of the regions as well as their growing functional involvement in social and cultural development. Hence, the focu s is on the markers that reflect the process of regional identity formation. The article observes different nomination festivals held in the city of Voronezh and Voronezh region, which are regarded as a complex marker of the regional identity. The aim of the study is to describe the features and functions of the complex marker of the regional identity relying on the nominations of festivals held in the city of Voronezh and Voronezh region. The methodology of the study includes linguistic observation, generalization, statistical method, description and classification of the empirical data. The study consistently proves that nominations used for naming festivals in the city of Voronezh and Voronezh region can be regarded as a complex marker of the regional identity which represents the local festivals both as hallmark events and the events of the linguistic identity regarding the semantic analysis findings. The festivals described in the article show two types of identity: cultural and territorial. The latter includes local, urban, national and global variants. The analysis of the festival features reveals a complicated nature of the festival nomination, which consists of appellative indexer and mono feature nomination. The former refers to formal features of the festival, whereas the latter implies additional information about the regional cultural identity. The article suggests and describes the concept of a complex identity marker as well as the algorithm of its exploring.
