РИТОРИКА ФЕДЕРАЛЬНОГО ПРЕЗИДЕНТА НІМЕЧЧИНИ В КОНТЕКСТІ РОСІЙСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ВІЙНИ: СТИЛІСТИЧНИЙ ТА ПЕРЕКЛАДАЦЬКИЙ АСПЕКТ

The article describes extralingual factors, functionally-communicative features, stylistic means and ways of their translation in the historic keynote speech of the Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier “Strengthening everything that connects us”, delivered by him on October 28, 2022. Information policy concerns all public spheres. It preconditions functioning of the social system. Change of ideas makes provision for a change in political public rhetorics as culturally accepted logic of progression of events. Rhetorics unite people emotionally, creating their identity. Texts carrying the main rhetorics in the course of the war can be called ones of the main constituents of the process of strategic communications. Texts of political speeches of the politicians during the Russian-Ukrainian war are basic factors of creation of rhetorics of this war within the societies addressed by them. The basis of their impact on the audience is the complex of stylistic tonality creation. Stylistic tonality is the text category which embodies the concentration of expressive means used by the author in their speech activity with the purpose of representation of the essence of the subject matter and their personal attitude to it. The stylistic tonality of a text is created based on the functionally-communicative features – invariant features of the texts which are based on its extralingual constituents and are called for simplification of their reveal in the text, which is the task of the addresser. They serve as mediators between the extralinguistics of the text and its linguistic implementation. The main functionally-communicative features of the speech by the Federal President are “evaluativity” and “inventivity”. Stylistic tonality of the text is characterized by the usage of metaphors, epithets, antitheses and an anaphor, as a kind of distant repetition. The most effective translation transformations of Ukrainian translation of the analysed political speech are in-context substitution, word-for-word translation, selection of variant equivalent, substantiation, omission, substitution of one part of speech with a word of another part of speech.

Editor's Introduction

The College Theology Society was founded in 1954 and launched Horizons as its journal twenty years later. What journal of Catholic theology grounded in the spirit of aggiornamento of the Second Vatican Council, dedicated to cutting-edge scholarship, and passionate about pedagogy would not want its first issue to feature a contribution from someone whose work seamlessly embodies all three of these commitments? Horizons's inaugural issue did just this when it published Raymond E. Brown's June 1974 keynote address delivered for the annual convention of the CTS.

Introduction from the Editorial Team

Introduction from the Editorial Team Selima Sultana, Paul Knapp, Ridwaana Allen, and Tyler Mitchell One of the many strengths of the Southeastern Division of the Association of American Geographers (SEDAAG) has been the broad and long-standing support of its members and their strong service commitment to ensure the vitality of the division. These contributions are best expressed during the annual meeting each November held in a variety of cities from small (e.g., Florence, Alabama) to large (e.g., Atlanta, Georgia) located within the SEDAAG region. Regardless of location, the meetings offer an opportunity for many of the attendees to travel, which is part of the enjoyment of the meeting, especially when exploration is integrated into the trip. As geographers, we know that visiting places with interesting geographical qualities can be highly educational and initiate new ideas. This travel can help satiate the wanderlust that is inherent to geographers, and when done as a group, initiate long-lasting friendships and promote great conversions. That said, the reason for the travel — to attend the meeting — is made possible by a suite of individuals who organize the event. For the 2022 meeting, we recognize the efforts of SEDAAG President Bill Graves, SEDAAG Vice President Jennifer Rahn, and local organizer Eric Spears who spent numerous hours working to create an event that was widely enjoyed. We also recognize the contributions of the State Representatives and committee members, and for the latter particularly, Phillip Schmutz, who served as Chair of the Honors Committee. The awards banquet keynote address by AAG President Marilyn Raphael made the conference even more special. Finally, the success of the meeting does not occur without participation on panels, in sessions, and in the honors competition. The exceptional contributions for 2022 are listed below: faculty • Lifetime Achievement Award: John Kupfer, University of South Carolina • Outstanding Service Award: Dawn Drake, Missouri Western State University • Undergraduate Mentoring Award: Saeideh Gharehchahi, Jacksonville State University • Research Honors Award: Joann Mossa, University of Florida; Joe Weber, University of Alabama. graduate students • Best Poster: Cooper Corey, University of Alabama • Best Master’s Paper: Mashoukur Rahaman, University of Florida [End Page 132] • John Fraser Hart Award for Best Ph.D. Student Paper: Sarah Jackson, University of South Carolina other • Best Southeastern Geographer Paper: Mary Biggs, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill • Southeastern Geographer Cover Photo: Joann Mossa, University of Florida In addition to the awards, the incoming Southeastern Geographer editors were announced at the SEDAAG meeting.
