SYNTACTICAL AND STYLISTIC PECULIARITIES OF ECONOMIC DISCOURSE

The present paper  deals  with economic discourse from the perspective of its linguistic features, namely its syntactic and stylistic  peculiarities.  The  article  aims  to  provide  structured coverage of economic discourse as a concept, which implies consideration  of  its  definition,  purposes,  classification  and sources. The  study  centers  around  mass  media  as  the most productive source of economic discourse to date. The author also analyses  theoretical  and  practical  aspects  of syntactical and stylistic resources employed to shape the content and form of economic discourse.

The paper explicates the overriding aim of economic discourse, which is to influence the recipient and stimulate a specific take on the subject of  discussion,  which  ultimately  underlies  the linguistic analysis provided. The author points to a wide range of syntactic and stylistic aspects which are key to both the content and form of economic discourse, and gives an account of the most widely used syntactic and  stylistic  means  employed  in  the  framework of  economic discourse in order to highlight the meaning of the utterance, update and strengthen  its  informational  capacity  and expressiveness, attract the readers’ attention, bring about certain associations as consistent with the author’s intentions.

Ultimately,  the  author  concludes  that  various  sources  of economic discourse, which are predominantly media sources, help transfer  economic  socio-cultural  information  to  mass audience, which, in turn, underlies the corresponding aims of economic discourse. Given that, it is assumed that the syntactic and  stylistic peculiarities  of economic  discourse  should  be described and studied against the backdrop of these aims.
