У статті досліджено сталі словосполучення з дієслівним компонентом,
які виступають одиницями вираження суб’єктивної модальності. Матеріалом
для дослідження послугували німецькі онлайн статті політичної, соціальної
та спортивної тематики. Проаналізовано прагматичний аспект сталих
словосполучень з дієслівним компонентом, у результаті якого названа основна функція
цієї лексико-семантичної одиниці у статті як одному із жанрів публіцистичного
стилю.
The paper is devoted to the study of stable word-combinations with a verbal component,
which are seen in the context as the expressive means of subjective modality. German online
texts on political, social and sports topics were analyzed in this research.
In this paper the functional approach is applied to the study of the above-mentioned
linguistic phenomenon. It was proved that stable word-combinations with a verbal component
indicate features of phraseological unities and phraseological combinations and are quite
common in German publicistic texts.
The word-combinations are identified differently: the expression of subjective modality
as subjective modality has different markers, splitting into deontic (markers: necessary,
possibly, accidently), epistemic (markers: proved, disproved, not resolved), aletic (markers:
obligatory, prohibited, allowed), axiological (markers: good, bad, neutral). In the texts under
consideration, stable word-combinations with a verbal component can be seen as lexicalsyntactic units that enhance the expression of axiological modality as all analyzed examples
have good, bad, and neutral markers in the context.
Stable word-combinations with a verbal component are linguistic expressions
of the force of figurative thinking (German Bildkraft), which has two components: visibility
(German Bildhaftigkeit) and imagery / colourfulness (German Bildlichkeit). Visibility,
to which stable word-combinations with a verbal component apply, is related to the direct
meaning of all semantically relevant words and collocations.
Therefore, the wider the semantic space of such words and collocations is, the higher
degree of visibility and depth of meaning of such lexical and lexical-stylistic units can be
observed, because each individual meaning element defines our understanding of the topic
that is described, makes this description more detailed and complements our imagination.
Stable word-combinations with a verbal component constitute a complementary element
expressing subjective modality that reinforces the influence on the addressee. As the means
of expressing subjective modality, these lexical-syntactic units can only be considered
together with other lexical units in a context.
