On Stylistic Functions of Language Borrowings in German Fiction
Abstract
The article focuses on functional and stylistic differences between native German words and borrowed ones with a synonymous meaning, as well as the use of loan words in literature as a stylistic device to reproduce national colour and historical details, to substitute blunt precision or disagreeable use, to give a text some humorous or even satirical touch.
Key words
national and historical colour; archaic, old-fashioned or borrowed words and terms, euphemisms, vogue words; semantic and stylistic variation
