The study aims to construct a model of the discursive space of morality using the material of German-language texts. Scientific novelty of the work lies in substantiating the spatial way of organising the discourse of morality and involving the theory of mental spaces as a tool for modelling the discursive space of morality. The analysis has shown that morality acts as a superspace that unites all spheres of human life through moral evaluation. The temporal discreteness and constancy of the moral discourse, its rich thematic repertoire, as well as the variety of lexical units representing its participants are indicative of the spatial form of its organisation. The analysis of the examples of the most common collocations in modern German with the basic component “Moral” revealed the close connection of morality with Christianity and the presence of negative transformations in the sphere of moral consciousness. By considering morality in the diachronic aspect the researcher was able to discover the presence of constants of the moral discourse, which are the MORAL, RELIGION and VERBRECHEN concepts. As a result of the study, a model of the discursive space of morality has been constructed, its features conditioned by the specificity of morality itself have been identified, its basic and secondary components have been determined. It has been found that the discursive space of morality has a complex multilevel structure, it is constant and covers all periods of time.

The study aims to determine the semantic features of the transforming morality and its discourse. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the author’s approach to identifying and describing the semantics of morality and moral discourse, taking into account the most typical collocations of the keyword ‘Moral’ acting as a subject. As a result of the study, it was found that metaphors, metaphtonymies and intertextuality serve as the semantic markers of the transforming morality as a subject in the type of discourse under consideration. The analysis of examples of moral discourse, in which ‘Moral’ acts as a subject, has shown that intertextuality is manifested in the use of precedent phenomena in moral discourse referring to moral issues. Aphorisms can undergo formal transformations and receive occasional components without changing the negative axiological vector of moral discourse. It is determined that the sports metaphor ‘auf der Strecke bleiben’, which is based on the metaphorical model LIFE is A SPORTS COMPETITION, is actualised in moral discourse. The conceptual vector of rivalry reflects the real worldview and the place that morality occupies in it: morality appears as a loser, a player who has lost the race, who has conceded victory to politics, art, profit and economic progress. The metaphtonymies ‘Moral verlangt’, ‘Moral herrscht’ have negative evaluativeness. Metaphors and metaphtonymies in moral discourse emphasise the secondary nature of morality at the present stage of societal development.
