Styl charyzmatyczny

The term ‘charisma’ (Greek: χάρισμα (khárisma) meaning ‘a gift’) was introduced by Paul the Apostle in his apostolic letters and on the lay ground it was adapted by M. Weber at the beginning of the 20th century. From the domain of sociology it found its way into psychology and pedagogy. The author of the present article undertakes to introduce the following terms: language charisma and charismatic style into the cognitive space of linguistics. He analyzes the figure of Jesus as a prototype specimen of a person with the gift of charisma. The cognitive representation of this specimen as well as the admissible size of this transformation mark out the structure of the title notion. The most important semantic features of the notion of charisma include wisdom and creativity. The charismatic style is defined as an unusual manner in which somebody – with the expression that is exclusively typical ofthemselves – reveals to us their deepest spiritual world, exerting an impact on us. This style exists in the form of: 1) a style of concrete text, 2) a systemic individual style (a variation of idiostyle), 3) a subjective individual style, and 4) a collective intersubjective style.
