Analysis reveals the impact of composite occasionalisms on understanding society and philosophical concepts, suggesting rich interpretative potential.
Introduction. Modern linguistics is characterized by an increased interest in understanding the phenomenon of “homo loquens”, which brings the discourse of philosophical hermeneutics into the focus of research. The tendency towards expansionism and interdisciplinarity in the linguoepisteme of recent years confirms the relevance of the analysis of meaningderivation in hermeneutics, including that carried out through composite occasionalisms. The purpose of the study is to identify and study the meaning-derivation specifics of composite occasionalisms in the fundamental work by M. Heidegger – Being and Time, created within the framework of philosophical hermeneutics. Materials and methods. The research material includes 320 composite occasionalisms from the book Being and Time by M. Heidegger. The research methods are structural and semantic interpretation, component and hermeneutic analysis, revealing the features of philosophical noematics in acts of philosophical reflection. Analysis. Special attention is paid to the syntactic and semantic classification of occasional German composites, within the framework of which the predominance of composite sentences as markers of M. Heidegger’s idiostyle is revealed. The authors claim that composites of this type are used by the philosopher as an occasional nomination of the phenomenon of being, as well as fear and alienation of the individual in society. The frequency of occasional composites with an aposiopesis component in the form of a pragmatically marked zero sign is noted. Such a strategy of text construction is interpreted as an appellative function of composite occasionalisms of this type, encouraging recipients to reflect on the discussed philosophical issues. Results. The results of the study demonstrate a bright meaning-derivative potential of occasional composites in M. Heidegger’s discourse, which is associated with the implementation of cognitive, coherentforming and appellative functions. Additive meanings of noematic nature, expressed by composite occasionalisms, impart emotionality and expressiveness to the philosophical text.
