PUBLICISTIC FILM TEXTS STYLISTIC FROM THE LINGUOSEMIOTIC VIEWPOINT

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of identification and systematization of stylistic means of journalistic film texts according to their linguosemiotic status. With the help of a number of general scientific (observation, comparison, generalization, quantitative calculations) and special (descriptive, functional) methods, the Ukrainian-language journalistic films of A. Galimov, A. Romanidi, and H. Kovalenko were investigated. The author of the article explained the essence and indicated the problematic status of the concept of “journalistic film text” in linguistic science. It is argued that journalistic film text is a subspecies of documentary film text, which presents a purely author’s/journalistic view of real events of the past and present. The journalistic film text differs from the documentary one in the presence of selfdirected conclusions and a wider temporal marking of the plot. It is noticed that stylistics of different language levels function in the tectonics of journalistic film texts. Stylistics of the phonetic level are accents. Stylistics of the lexical level are professional-industrial, official-business, scientific-terminological, emotional vocabulary, tropes, foreign lexemes, obsolete vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms, colloquial words. Stylistics of the grammatical level are complex sentences, past tense forms of the verb, inflections. According to quantitative calculations, the stylistic level of the lexical level is the most recorded. It is proposed to determine the semiotic status of stylists according to the functional principle and to distinguish the following types of signs: subsign, suprasing, synsing. Subsigns are, first of all, stylistics of the grammatical level, which serve as a kind of “packaging” of the content, that is, its form. Suprasigns are lexical-level stylistics, because the word on television is the main source of information. Phonetic-level stylistics, which are used to detail the social portrait of those about whom the story is told, are synsings.
