Composite as an Alternative Form of Genetive Structure and its Linguistic-Stylistic Features

Abstract

The article responds to a recent statement on the weakening of the position of the genitive. Numerous studies have dealt with this question. It should be noted, however, that although the genitive actually retreats in relation to the object, it has a fixed position in relation to the attributive function.The German language is rich in linguistic-stylistic forms that may appear as an alternative to the genitive form. Alternative forms of the genitive, as genitive values, function at different frequencies and degrees. One of their semantic equivalents is composites.      The research is based on the latest entomological literature (P. Eisenberg, P. Galman, L. M. Eichinger, A. Heringer), and the illustrated material is taken from online newspapers (such as Spiegel online, Zeit online, Frankfurter allgemeiner Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung. As for the newspaper genre, comments, reports, interviews were used during the research.
