R. M. RILKE’S AND E. M. REMARQUE’S PROSE POEMS AS COHERENT ARTISTIC PHENOMENA (LINGUOSTYLISTIC ASPECT)

Abstract

The article discusses genre and linguistic-stylistic features of prose poems by two distinguished writers – German language authors R. M. Rilke and E. M. Remarque. The comparative analysis revealed main characteristics of these works, including lack of metro-rhythmic patterns, a subjective description of reality, laconic expressions, excessive expressiveness, the abundance of figurative and stylistic means in a small text-space. The theoretical significance of the work is determined by the introduction into the scientific circulation of unpublished works by E. M. Remarque, a contribution to the development of methodology for comparing works by different authors. Practical significance lies in the possible use of these materials in courses on the history of literature, linguostylistic text analysis, and stylistics of the German language.
