COGNITIVE-PRAGMATIC SITUATIONS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE SYNTACTIC CONCEPT “OF PRECISION” (BASED ON THE GERMAN LANGUAGE)

Abstract

The paper deals with studying of the syntactic concept of precision represented by the model of a German complex sentence with connective clauses be used in scientific and technical texts. The grammatical status of a complex sentence with connective clauses is determined as well as its models are described. The study is based on a cognitive approach that applies the development of cognitive-pragmatic situational modelling in the field of syntax. The following key concepts are defined: the syntactic concept of precision and the cognitive-pragmatic situation. As a result, cognitive-pragmatic situations are identified and systematized within the framework of the researched syntactic concept, structural-semantic and pragmatic features of a complex sentence with connective clauses in each group of situations are revealed.
