Abstract
The paper presents a comparative methodology for experimental phonetic research into the linguistic personalities of potential charismatic leaders in modern German and Ukrainian grassroots movements. It suggests a novel linguistic discursive model of the "discovery" of future charismatic leaders (in the German and Ukrainian political discourses), which has a three-layer structure and considers the following types of charisma: (1) Charisma of Office (German – Amtscharisma) associated with a national leader (chancellor, resident, etc.) whose charisma is determined by the chronology of crisis (charismatic) and post-crisis (rational) periods in the life of the country and society. For the most part, these periods alternate with each other. Any politician endowed with supreme power and influenced in his / her actions by the importance of his/her high office can become a charismatic leader; (2) Public Charisma, which is characteristic to some degree of various politicians who rank lower than the leader of the country, but whose appeal is very high during crisis periods. The society recognizes such politicians as charismatic leaders with their charisma repeatedly confirmed by media resources; (3) Grassroots Charisma (my term – N.P.), which is embryonic stemming upwards from popular initiatives and movements. It is not yet active in public discourse, but its features can be detected in informal leaders by directly observing them at rallies, pickets, signature collections and other socio-political events. The important point here is the moment of the first public attribution of charisma, i.e. the initial recognition of a public person as a charismatic leader in the media or in social networks. Discursive portrayal of potential charismatic leaders in German and Ukrainian grassroots initiatives and the determination of their contrastive features rest on four parameters (biological, social, psychological, discursive), forming their charismatic discourse portraits. Of decisive importance here is the rhetoric of public appearances, expressive combative position, hortatority, timbral, prosodic and gesture-mimic characteristics, appearance further perceived and attributed as charisma. The results of this study can be applied in contrastive linguistics, intercultural communication, discourse studies, applied phonetics.
