Stylistic Categories, Based on the Poem Die schlesischen Weber by Heinrich Heine

摘要

The poem Die schlesischen Weber by the great German writer Heinrich Heine is a revolutionary appeal to overthrow the German perverse social relations. The poem proved to be interesting from the stylistic point of view and is a perfect example of stylistic categories. As a result of our study, it turned out to be very rich in tropes and syntactic devices. Our attention was drawn to the metaphor (the metaphor reinforces the meaning of language, embellishes it and at the same time expresses the narrator’s point of view about the objects and phenomena. Therefore, metaphor has always been considered one of the best language means), comparison, parallel constructions (this stylistic device is a special syntactic structure, used by the writer for greater emphasis), oxymoron (is based on the combination of two, mutually exclusive concepts) and repetition.
