Pretative Type of the Sacral-Religious Interpretation of the Evangelic Parable

Pretative way of the sacral-religious interpretation on the material of the evangelic parables in German and Russian languages is considered. The mentioned type has a focus on the semantic sphere of the sacralreligious pretative, which is formed around the sacral categories of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of God. These concepts are the expression of the semantics of spiritual purpose. The turning of the inner spiritual gaze to the need for a new vision of earthly existence orientates to the achievement of the highest blessed state of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is revealed that by means of gradational enumeration the pretative sphere of sacral-religious interpretation in certain texts of the Gospel parables is intensified. In the text of the Gospel parable “About the Mustard Seed” the process of pretative focalisation brings to the forefront the semantics of the “gradual spiritual development as the achievement of the blessed state”. The lingvostylistic characteristics of the pretative type of sacred-religious interpretation in German and Russian translations reveal common features of expression.
