Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of the functioning of phraseological units in poetic speech. The transformation of phraseological units in a poetic text is considered. Phraseological units that give different emotional and expressive coloring to a statement are widely used in poetic speech, since one of the tasks of the poetic text is to make an emotional impact on a reader. Phraseological transformations, which are understood as occasional transformations of set expressions of words that make changes in the form and meaning of the original phraseology, are analyzed based on German poetic discourse, represented by the poetic works of Heinrich Heine.The analysis is performed by the example of rhymed poems - poems “Germany. The Winter Tale” (1844) and “Atta Troll” (1841–1842, 1846), as well as the poems of both “North Sea” cycles (1825–1826) written in free rhythms. As a result of the analysis, the author concludes about reasons for the transformation of phraseological units in poetic speech.With the help of the transformation of the form of a set expression, the poet seeks, first, to actualize the internal image of the phraseological unit and thus, with the help of the “non-conventional” form, to revive the perception of the phraseological unit. Second, the inclusion of the modified phraseological unit in the syntactic whole of poetic strophe is explained by the desire of the poet to use the figurative content of the “revived” phraseologism to enhance the emotional and stylistic tonality of the poetic text.
