Выдержка из текста
Latin word ‘Gradatio’ translated as ‘gradual increase’. This linguistic term refers to a figure of poetic language, which uses syntactic repetitions and an arrangement of words and expressions that there is an increase of semantic significance of the preceding word or the descent of the meaning of the expression. However, there is still the question of gradation application in other types of texts.
Consequently, the goal of the research is to look at gradation in different types of texts. In order to achieve the goal, the following objectives are set:
1) To provide general notion on gradation (climax) in the foreign scientific discourse;
2) To look at possible definitions of gradation in general and by British Linguistic School;
3) To define peculiarities of British Linguistic School approach;
4) To study gradation in different types of texts.
The given paper consists of introduction, two chapters, conclusion and bibliography and mainly applies such methods as restructuring of the existing information on gradation. The clarification of term invariants (gradation and climax) is also provided.
