DISCURSIVE-COGNITIVE FEATURES AND CORPUS ANALYSIS OF FORENSIC MEDICAL EXPERTISE TEXTS

Abstract

This article examines the discursive-cognitive features of forensic medical expertise texts and the issues of analyzing them on the basis of corpus linguistics. Forensic medical expertise texts are characterized as complex communicative units formed at the intersection of scientific, legal, and medical discourse. During the research, the terminological system, syntactic structure, pragmatic characteristics, and cognitive model of expertise texts are analyzed. In addition, based on corpus analysis, the functional features of lexical units, repetitive constructions, and discourse markers occurring in the texts are identified. The results of the study serve as an important theoretical basis for the linguistic and cognitive study of forensic medical texts
