Abstract
The article is aimed at the study of topical subject in modern linguistics, namely economic discourse, and its functioning in modern communication on economic issues. In particular, the study is exploring the role of precedent texts’ references of this type of discourse in achieving the pragmatic aim assigned to a discourse by its author. The literature overview outlines the main approaches to the notion of discourse and identification of features that distinguish it from that of text in its conventional meaning. Another part of literature overview is devoted to the notions of precedent texts, precedent names and their classifications. In the empirical part of the study 100 articles from popular economic media, both printed and electronic ones, are subject to the discourse analysis in terms of precedent texts’ pragmatic aims and functioning. The results of the above analysis are further submitted to quantitative analysis to reveal major trends of precedent texts functioning in economic discourse.
