The course examines the structure of an English-language brand, including verbal and visual components. Given that the maximum interaction of recipients with the brand involves the perception of the naming as the main verbal attribute, the course examines in detail the linguistic models of naming in business discourse. The analysis of linguistic means is complemented by the consideration of visual components in the brand structure that reinforce the meaning of the naming or create additional effects. The discursive approach is ensured by studying neumes in various business communications: company websites, presentations of goods or services, customer business cards, video and audio advertising, social media posts, landing pages, etc. In business discourse, the function of a naim is not only to attract the audience's attention and promote brand memorization, but also to communicate the company's values and form certain emotions and associations in the recipients with a subsequent desire to become a client or partner of the brand.
