The present paper focuses on some aspects of the so called wooden language in the german newspaper published in Romania from the pre-revolutionary period, to be exact in the forms of expression of this language identified in the condolences messages on the death of the communist leaders Josef Wissarionowitsch Stalin and Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, which were published in the newspaper Neuer Weg (NW) (1953 respectively 1965). The theoretical point of view hold by the author is that of sociolinguistics and pragmalinguistics. At first, the concept wooden language is defined and its most important structural features and means of utterance are identified, the socio-historical background, that encourages the existence of the analysed phenomenon is also explained. The results of the analysis are presented further: the form of expression of the “wooden” statements, their morpho-syntactic, semantic, pragmatic-stylistic structure. The paper contains some final remarks on general characteristics of the written press.
Der Beitrag widmet sich einem ausgewählten Bereich öffentlicher Pressesprache, wobei strukturelle, semantische und pragmatische Besonderheiten der sogenannten hölzernen Sprache in der deutschsprachigen Zeitung Neuer Weg (NW) aus Rumänien exemplarisch am Beispiel von Beileidstelegrammen zum Ableben der kommunistischen Führer Josef Wissarionowitsch Stalin und Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej (1953 bzw.1965) erfasst werden sollen. Mit der Darstellung von Formulierungspräferenzen in einer ausgewählten Textsorte der öffentlichen schriftlichen Kommunikationspraxis und der Analyse dieses soziokulturell geprägten Sprachgebrauchs hinaus sollen auch die sozial-historischen Bedingungen, die für das Auftauchen der Ausdrucksformen der hölzernen Sprache förderlich waren, eruiert werden.
