Abstract
The article deals with the functioning of the members of one of the basic categories of English subject names - the lexical category “Food” - in the socio-political discourse of modern English. The main purpose of the study is to examine their role in the realization of both primary nominative function and secondary additional semiotic function. The material is a linguistic corpus of CNN news texts (37864 sentences or 982107 tokens) collected in the second half of 2023 and early 2024 with the help of the author’s software “Balanced Linguistic Corpus Generator and Corpus Manager”. The article also provides a brief review of publications on the study of food names and gastronomic discourse carried out on the material of different languages.
