SET PHRASES IN THE JOURNALISTIC STYLE: PRAGMATIC AND STRUCTURAL-SEMANTIC ASPECTS (ON MATERIAL OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE)
Abstract
The article studies some issues identified through the discourse analysis of political and economic articles. According to V. V. Vinogradov's theory we differentiate in the language structure everyday domestic style (function of communication), business, official-documentary and scientific (function of message); journalistic and artistic belletristic (pragmatic function). Since our work analyzes a number of analytical newspaper articles, we will characterize the journalistic style, namely the texts of the media. The research actuality is caused by the fact that the communicative setting and focus on a diverse audience implies the structure, which is associated with the use of prepared standards, cliches, different phraseological units. The scientific topicality of the study is actualized in the approach when set expressions are viewed as a relevant syntactic material in the structure of political discourse. The purpose of the article is pragmatic and structural-semantic discourse analysis of political and economic analytical articles. You can find detailed description of the functional verb combinations (also called "Streckformen des Verbs" in German linguistic studies), which is a border area of phraseological and syntactical analyses. In this work, analytical articles of the newspaper FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) are exposed to linguistic analysis. FAZ is represented throughout Germany in printed form and available on the Internet for the foreign audience. The method of continuous sampling of phraseology from the newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" has allowed to establish numerical superiority of official-business style expressions, which are combinations of verb with a nominative or prepositional combination, performing a predicative function in the sentence. Structural-semantic analysis of these set combinations reveals two basic syntactic structures. The article argues for the legitimacy of analyzed expressions referring to phraseological units. Constituting the base syntactic material in the architectonics of political discourse, analyzed expressions determine the following pragmatic and empathic postsemiosis constants: 1) credibility, the credibility of the source; 2) belonging to a conversational style, proximity to audience, representation and the separation of its interests; 3) neutrality; 4) pejorative evaluation.
