description

This paper aims to answer the following two questions: is expressivity – defined by Jakobson (1963) as one of the six functions of language – a suitable category to describe specialized discourse? And if yes, what could the possible markers for this category be at the syntactical level? The analysed corpus is made up of comparable texts, actually stock exchange reports from the online versions of French and German daily newspapers. On the basis of Fix's notion of ‘text model' (Textmuster), we first give a succinct description of the thematic and textual features of these texts before briefly exploring which possibilities German syntax offers for the manifestation of expressivity. The main part of the paper deals with the description and elucidation of some linearization strategies, expressive but also non expressive ones, that seem to be prototypical when writing such texts.
