Romanenko O. Stylistic dominants of German Romantic and their Lingual Realization

The thesis presents the integrative cognitive and communicative study of characteristic features of German romantic discourse (GRD). The place and role of this type of discourse in the culture and society of Germany in XVIII–XIX centuries are defined; the parameters of its cognitive mapping and the main principles of its lingual realization are revealed, the pragmatic potential of its constituents is evaluated. The stylistic dominants (absolute egotivity, ambivalence and abstractness) as factors of the inmost construction of GRD are established and the mechanism of their system connections is described. It has been proved that romantic style has cognitive nature based on the specific romantic world-view determined by invariant relationship of subjects of GRD to the reality. The dissertation singles out and analyses the range of verbal and non-verbal means, which realize the dominant romantic stylistic features in GRD and promote the speech impact on the addressee. Herewith much attention is given to the peculiarities of dominant stylistic techniques in this type of discourse (synesthesia and concept-symbol) while the emphasis is made on their convergent interaction.
