Autors: 
Zolotarev Mikhail Vladimirovich, Saratov State University
Abstract: 

Analyzing the results of a linguistic experiment, this article investigates the usage patterns of precedent phenomena in the discourse of American young adults. The findings indicate that there are two major
grammar models for the speakers to utilize precedent phenomena: comparative constructions and noun phrase complements. These patterns reveal some unique characteristics of the language units of interest.

Key words: 
precedent phenomena
American youth discourse
grammar structures
indirect nomination
young adults.
