T.S. Lyashenko, Structural-compositional, lingual-stylistic and pragmatic peculiarities of the arts review in German newspapers. - Manuscript.

A thesis for the Scholarly Degree of Candidate of Philology in speciality 10.02.04 - Germanic languages. Lviv Ivan Franko National University. Lviv, 2003.

This dissertation is concerned with the study of the German arts review with a particular emphasis on the functional-communicative guidelines in the present-day lingual stylistics as well as the elaboration of a comprehensive approach towards the analysis of the typical features of the texts of newspaper reviews and their categories. Genre specificity and language/speech peculiarities of the arts review have been considered.

The dissertation presents a pioneering attempt at a comprehensive analysis of the newspaper arts review as a text type and its modifications (analytical-evaluative reviews and reviews in the form of accounts and annotations) on several levels: structural-compositional, communicative-functional and thematic with the consideration of specific communicative-pragmatic potentials of the genre. A structural model of each modification of the artistic review has been construed, the coherence of the text on the structural-compositional and thematic levels has been studied, both linguistic and paralinguistic means of the pragmatic impact of the text of the arts review on the recipient have been revealed and ways of the manifestation of the said impact have been elucidated.

The genre of the arts review is looked upon as a sub-microgenre in respect towards the microgenre of the newspaper review. The latter belongs to the publicistic style. The arts review contains a critical assessment of the aesthetic production treating it as a piece of arts, i.e. painting, sculpture or artistic photography.

The genre peculiarities of the arts review (analyticity, evaluation and informativeness as regards its content and publicist character, emotionality, expressiveness, advertisingness and succinctness as regards its style) are predetermined by the pragmatics of the review text and the intentionality of its author. They prove to be of consequence for the review composition. The primary or secondary nature of the typical features of the arts review bring about certain changes in the structure of the text and its linguistic manifestation. The comparison of the actual review texts with the invariant genre model and the correlation of the horizontal (compositional level) and vertical (communicative level) structures testify to the distribution of content and style relevant features in the singled out variants of the speech manifestation of the arts review.

The distinctness of the arts review texts was found to be achieved by various parenthetical, appositive and participial constructions as well as means of expressive syntax (inversion, elliptical sentences, adjoining constructions, enumerative series, repetitions, asyndetic sentence strings, etc.) as well as by expressive means (metaphor, simile, epithet) together with lexemes and idioms of literary-colloquial coloring. The succinctness of arts review texts is owed to the usage of parenthetical constructions, infinitival phrases, extended attributes, nounal phrases and compounds.

The cohesion of the arts review texts is achieved on two interrelated levels: compositional and thematic. The instruments on the former level are found in the sequence of the horizontal structure components encompassing an array of language means. Here, textual coherence is characterized by polydimentionality and varied directedness that are manifested in the combination of varied types and means of relatedness.

Lingual signals of relatedness of the compositional level are subdivided into lexical-grammatical, syntactic and lexical-stylistic. As to the means of expression in the texts of analytical reviews and accounts they pertain to the level of macrostructure. The cohesive bonds in the texts of the review in the form of the annotation, whose horizontal structure take on the form of a merged text-account, refer to the plane of microstructure. Textual bonds in arts reviews are actualized primarily through the recurrent ties by lexical-stylistic means.

The thematic structure of the arts review reflects the logical-semantic relationships in the text. This structure is believed to be brought about by communicative and situational factors. In the texts of analytical-evaluative reviews the theme is brought forward through argumentation with thesis, argument and introduction that are explicitly expressed in the text and background, logical conclusion and system of values expressed in the text implicitly. The thematic structure of the fist two types of the arts review is characterized by the descriptive form of theme extension with such structural constituents as event, pretext, result. The texts of arts reviews in the form of the annotation, whose thematic structure is characterized by a fair amount of variance, are represented by the extended three-member structure as well as by the reduced one. In contrast to the texts of account reviews the microthemes of the thematic structure of such annotations do not tend to acquire a wider specification.

The impact potential of the arts review text is attained by means of the interaction of the text proper, specifically its evaluative information, with concomitant paralinguistic means (illustrations, photographs, fonts, footnotes). Depending upon the evaluative information versatility and its impact on the recipient pragmatic and semantic types of evaluative information have been singled out: denotative-evaluative, connotative-evaluative, subtext-evaluative. The specificity of the information impact on the recipient lies in the promotion of the addressee's sub-conscious perception and psychological reaction with the help of the denotative-evaluative information. The desirable psychological states of the recipient are induced owing to the connotative-evaluative information and the neutralization of the critical stance of the reader through the subtext-evaluative information. The external visual means attract the recipient's attention and establish a psychological contact with him. They also facilitate adequate text perception and are conducive to its imagery. Graphical means tend to speed up the search for necessary information.

The thesis consists of an introduction, three chapters, conclusions and bibliography. The findings of the research are conducive to the genre-pragmatic typology of German newspaper texts. The practical value of the research is predetermined by the feasibility of the application of its results in teaching such courses as theoretical and practical lingual stylistics of German as well as text stylistics.

Key words: speech genre, newspaper review, horizontal, vertical and thematic structure, bond agents, text theme, thematic extension, means of pragmatic impact.
