Abstract (English):
The article is devoted to systematization of approaches to typological stratification of legal discourse and identification of the main genre models implemented by specific text types. The concept of classification of legal discourse is based on the generalization of the properties of communication mediated by the tasks of practical activities, and stereotypical features of communication in the legal sphere. The article demonstrates a possible approach to the classification of texts of legal discourse, identification and description of their genres. At the primary stage, legislative, judicial, advisory types of texts are identified, as well as texts functioning as part of the practical activity of one of the communicants: a) texts serving the administrative activities of the police; b) texts functioning in the field of investigation and inquiry; c) texts serving forensic and expert activities; d) texts serving the penitentiary sphere; d) texts related to office work in the field of law enforcement agencies. Further, the genres are differentiated by classes taking into account the specialization of the lawyer and the functional potential of legally significant information. The classification of legal texts proposed in the article takes into account such parameters as the type of professional activity in the legal sphere, the specialization of the lawyer, the functional potential of legally significant information, the communicative cortege formed by the typical addresser and the addressee taking into account the potential exchange of their communicative roles, the communicative framework of the text, the scenario frame underlying communicative interaction in a specific professional situation, the level of formality of interaction, the thematic repertoire, the selectivity of the language use, as well as speech patterns and clichés.
