Коммуникативные аспекты аргументации в немецкой критической прозе

Abstract

The paper dwells upon the communicative aspect of the process of argumentation
 in critical texts, written in German. It reveals argumentative strategies
 in the interpretation of the scientific critical text from the point of view
 of communicative-cognitive paradigm. The object of the analysis is scientific
 (research) critical reviews from German journals, communicative intentions
 of which are information, assessing, its explanation and influence upon the
 reader. In the framework of the informational potential the author investigates
 the process of juxtaposition of the informative fund of the critic and the
 primary author where the difference between the notions of «knowledge/
 opinion» is very important. In the evaluative aspect of the critical text the
 axiological axis (center) is centered between the poles «good» — «bad»,
 including the evaluative notion of «independence’. The dominant speech
 form of the linguistic critical review appears through discourse, containing
 either description or debate. The process of assessment goes through logical
 steps of argumentation. Argumentation is divided into emotional and rational
 and it is juxtaposed to assessment. More than that, argumentation is
 a complex phenomenon, linked directly with the composition of the text and
 it has explicit communicative character.
