The book "Structure, semantics and tendencies of development of names of persons by profession in the modern German language" by E. Yu. Novikov is a deep and fascinating study that immerses the reader in the world of professional vocabulary of the German language. This dissertation is not just a scientific work, but a real find for anyone interested in linguistic features, sociolinguistics and cultural aspects related to professions. In his work, Novikov explores how job titles are formed, changed and adapted in the context of modern society. It analyzes what semantic changes occur in these names, how they reflect social and cultural trends, and what factors influence their development. The book examines not only traditional professions, but also new ones that have appeared as a result of technological changes and globalization. This makes the work especially relevant for readers interested in modern trends in language and society. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers: from undergraduate and graduate students studying German studies and linguistics, to teachers and researchers working in the field of language and cultural studies. It can also attract the attention of professionals working in the field of HR and career counseling, because understanding the linguistic nuances of the names of professions can significantly help in the selection of personnel and the creation of effective resumes. The topics raised in the book cover not only the lexicographical aspects, but also the social changes occurring in society. Novikov shows how language reflects changes in the perception of professions, their importance and role in human life. For example, in recent decades there has been an increase in interest in professions related to technology and ecology, which is reflected in the language. This study gives readers an opportunity to think about how language not only captures, but also shapes our perception of the world. The author's style is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which makes complex linguistic concepts accessible for understanding. Novikov uses many examples, which allows the reader to better absorb the material and see its practical application. His previous works are also noteworthy as they demonstrate a deep understanding of the language and its dynamics. Readers familiar with his other publications will appreciate this work as well, which continues to explore topics already covered in his previous research. “Structure, semantics and trends in the development of names of persons by profession in modern German” is not just a dissertation, but a valuable contribution to the study of language as a living and developing organism. It opens new horizons for understanding how language interacts with culture and society, and why this interaction is so important to each of us. If you want to deepen your knowledge of language, professions and their meaning in the modern world, this book will be a real discovery for you.
