Phraseological units and their variants in a specific German-language egodocument of Slovak provenance from the mid-19th century
Sinossi
This study deals with the issue of the conventionalisation of selected figurative and non-figurative locutions and their variants within a specific German-language egodocument of Slovak origin from the 19th century, the author of which is Samuel Ferjenčík, a prominent figure in Slovak intellectual circles. A thorough textual analysis of the document, discovered on the premises of Ferjenčík’s former rectory and comprising 908 entries on 155 manuscript pages, sheds light on Ferjenčík’s stylistic preferences and rhetorical strategies. Using Conventional Figurative Language Theory (CFLT) as a theoretical framework, the study examines Ferjenčík's deliberate selection and modification of phraseological units to enhance stylistic competence. By analysing the content of the document, the research reveals different categories of figurative and non-figurative elements, each of which offers an insight into Ferjenčík's literary environment and communicative intentions. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of linguistic conventions and stylistic preferences prevalent in the 19th-century German-language discourse.
