FUNCTIONAL-STYLISTIC FEATURES OF LEGAL, BUSINESS AND POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

In the modern world, legal language and legal discourse are of increasing interest among researchers in various fields of science. This is due to the fact that legal language is a complex and multifaceted system that performs important functions in society. Legal language is used in various communicative situations related to the application of laws and legal documents. In such situations, legal language often cannot exist in its pure form, preserving its literary, official form. Psycholinguists, cognitivists and linguists study legal language in different aspects. They investigate how legal language affects people's thinking and behavior, how it is formed and developed, how it reflects cultural values and norms. The purpose of the article is to analyze the functional and stylistic features of legal and political discourses. Scientific novelty. It is proved for the first time that the legal discourse can be imagined as a sphere in the center of which are the texts of current laws, in particular the main ones, such as the Constitution, codes and laws adopted at the state level. These texts are the basis of legal discourse, they establish norms of behavior and regulate social relations. They are also the benchmark for the production of laws and lower-level legal documents such as regional, departmental and private. Conclusions. The author comes to the conclusion that the legal discourse has a core, which consists of the law and the language of the law. This core is the basis of legal discourse, as it determines norms of behavior and regulates social relations. The core of legal discourse is gradually spreading to peripheral areas related to various social spheres. In these areas, the law becomes an object of reflection, discussion and interpretation. This happens under the influence of many factors, including emotional, cognitive and cultural. As a result, the legal sub-style interacts with other functional styles of the language, which leads to the mutual enrichment of the styles and the development of the language in general. English-language political discourse can be seen as the way in which people communicate and interact with each other. It allows us to create and share knowledge, form opinions and positions, and influence other people. English-language political discourse is closely related to legal discourse, which has been little studied in domestic philology.
