Abstract: Speech, considered as a fundamental unit of communication, serves dual functions rooted in understanding

and expression. Primarily, it functions in naming or nomination, where events are indirectly reflected through

the speaker's mind or recalled from personal experiences. Additionally, speech facilitates the simultaneous

conveyance of diverse information, contributing to its communicative nature. This duality underscores the

complexity of speech as both a tool for expressing thoughts and a means of transmitting information within

the process of communication.

1 INTRODUCTION

The introduction explores the characteristics of

simple sentences, highlighting their strict word order

and their role in conveying communicative functions,

speaker consciousness, and emotionality. It examines

the various types of simple sentences found in

Goethe's texts, noting their expressiveness, semantic-

figurative expression, and modal value. The

discussion progresses to the derivational changes of

simple sentence types, constituting modelling, and

their reflection in active syntactic relations within

German. Moreover, it explores the activity of simple

sentences in artistic works, considering parameters

such as communicative and derivational aspects. The

text also addresses the composition of elementary

sentences, which can range from single-word

expressions to more complex structures. It elucidates

the syntactic relationships between words within

sentences, distinguishing semantic combinations

from grammatical connections. Additionally, it

discusses participial relationships between verb

forms and sentence subjects, emphasizing their role

in conveying processes and actions.

2 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The study explores the intricate structures found

within primary and secondary clauses, highlighting

their versatility and potential complexity. These

clauses, often accompanied by optional elements such

as determiners, contribute layers of meaning and

nuance to sentences. However, determining the

precise number of such determinants poses a

theoretical challenge, as it varies depending on

communicative contexts and speaker preferences. An

analysis of Goethe's syntax provides valuable insights

into the influence of oral speech norms on the author's

syntactic choices. For instance, Goethe frequently

employs noun formations derived from verbs,

enhancing the expressiveness and semantic depth of

his sentences. This linguistic richness captures

nuanced shades of meaning and rhythmic

compositions, showcasing the author's mastery of

syntax and style.

Furthermore, the investigation explores the semantic-

derivation possibilities inherent in German syntax,

particularly evident in Goethe's idiolect. The study

highlights the prevalence of participle structures,

contributing to the overall structural tendency in

German syntax. Through various examples from

Goethe's works, the study illustrates how syntactic

choices enhance the aesthetic and communicative

effectiveness of the text.

Moreover, the research examines the vast range of

possible sentence forms within Goethe's idiolect,

illustrating how these forms contribute to the overall

sentence typology. The grammar of Goethe's prose is

characterized by a variety of sentence structures,

including verbless sentences that convey a heightened

sense of relevance and emotionality. These sentences,

often divided into parts based on rhythmic-

grammatical features, exhibit a unique syntactic

complexity that enriches Goethe's narrative style.

The study also investigates absolute constructions

within Goethe's syntax, highlighting their distinctive

features and functions within sentences. Absolute

constructions, characterized by their lack of

dependence on the main clause, offer unique

opportunities for syntactic and semantic exploration.

By analysing examples from Goethe's works, the

study elucidates the role of absolute constructions in

conveying complex semantic relationships and

enhancing narrative complexity.

Additionally, the research explores the syntactic use

of infinitives with objects in Goethe's idiolect,

shedding light on their prevalence and significance

within German syntax. Infinitives with objects, often

employed alongside verbs of perception or reflection,

serve as versatile linguistic tools for conveying

complex actions and states. Through detailed analysis

of examples from Goethe's writings, the study

elucidates the syntactic and semantic nuances of

infinitives with objects, highlighting their role in

shaping the overall texture and meaning of the text.

Furthermore, the study examines the syntactic

functions of case constructions within Goethe's

syntax, focusing on their semantic implications and

grammatical versatility. Case constructions,

including both nominal and pronominal expressions,

play a crucial role in establishing relationships

between elements within sentences. Through careful

analysis of examples from Goethe's works, the study

demonstrates how case constructions contribute to the

overall coherence and expressiveness of the text.

Moreover, the research investigates the role of

determiners in shaping sentence structure and

meaning within Goethe's idiolect. Determiners,

including adjectives, articles, and pronouns, play a

key role in indicating grammatical relationships and

conveying semantic nuances. By analysing examples

from Goethe's prose, the study illuminates the diverse

functions of determiners in German syntax,

highlighting their role in enhancing clarity, precision,

and expressiveness.

In conclusion, the investigation offers valuable

insights into the syntactic intricacies of Goethe's

prose, highlighting the diverse structures and

functions inherent in German syntax. Through

detailed analysis of examples from Goethe's works,

the study demonstrates how syntactic choices

contribute to the overall aesthetic and communicative

effectiveness of the text. By exploring the syntactic

features of Goethe's idiolect, the research enriches our

understanding of German syntax and its role in

literary expression.

3 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the analysis of Goethe's syntax reveals

the active creativity of the author and his adept

coordination with the evolving norms of modern

German language development. Through the

examination of syntactic-stylistic features, it becomes

evident that verbal speech plays a significant role in

enriching the expressive possibilities of syntactic

devices in literary language. This is exemplified by

Goethe's innovative use of nouns derived from verbs,

the deliberate crafting of rhythmic-compositional

expressions, and the strategic deployment of single-

content and verbless sentences to evoke nuanced

meanings and emotions. Furthermore, the

idiosyncratic characteristics of Goethe's syntax

transcend his works, influencing broader linguistic

phenomena such as the use of ancient compounds and

infinitive verbs with objects. These distinctive

syntactic features not only facilitate a diverse range

of semantic expressions but also imbue Goethe's

storytelling across various genres with heightened

emotionality and stylistic allure. Through meticulous

analysis, we gain deeper insights into the intricate

interplay between syntax, semantics, and artistic

storytelling techniques in Goethe's literary works.
