Funktional-stilistische Besonderheiten der deutschen texte der Publizistik (der Modus des Verbs)

Abstract

The article deals with the possibility of using verb moods as a means of the necessary stylistic colouring expression in German publicistic texts. The paper aims to disclose the specifici+ty of verb mood regarding its functional- stylistic meaning on the material of newspaper articles taken from Süddeutsche Zeitung. Publicistic texts are regarded as newspaper texts since publicistics is considered to be a branch of journalism in modern linguistics. The topicality of the research lies in the fact that publicistic texts are socio-politically oriented and aim to accurately and vividly inform about the most important life events and facts and influence readers. Their content should cause a certain attitude towards the reported information or induce an action. The authors seek to present the matter figuratively that helps reveal the content precisely and cause the necessary reaction. The specificity of German verb mood and their functional- stylistic peculiarities in different contexts appears to be an interesting subject of linguistic research since it reveals different stylistic shades requiring further analysis. The specificity use in the current German press allows forming complex functional-stylistic characteristics of the verb mood as a linguistic means to achieve communicative intents and implement authors’ ideas. The results of the functional-stylistic analysis of the verb mood used in the current German press show that verb mood has a vast potential for expression in German. Their forms give the necessary stylistic colouring to the context and figurativeness of the author’s viewpoint.
