The article identifies and describes the main functions of precedent phenomena in the English-language newspaper discourse. It has been found that the characterization function is mostly manifested through metaphor, comparison or insertion structures; the function of expressiveness allows the addressee to achieve intensification and emotionality, expresses the text due to the expressiveness of the logical components; nominative function is carried out in order to save linguistic resources by means of an indication of a person, a phenomenon, an event that are significant for the recipients and do not require additional description or explanation; the password function is a means of identifying a person with a particular linguistic-cultural community and facilitate the integration of speakers within this community; manipulative function of precedent phenomena – is a function of hidden influence on the formation of opinions, beliefs and motivations of the recipient to perform certain actions favorable to manipulator. The scientific sources devoted to the functioning of precedent phenomena are analyzed, which convincingly proves existence of different approaches to the problem and gives grounds to assert that precedent phenomena are multifunctional. Three main types of actualization of the function of characterization of precedent phenomena in the newspaper discourse are distinguished: through metaphor, through comparison, through the insertion sentence.
