Abstract
The article considers author’s remarks as meta-textual constructions helping to control mental activity and contributing to addressee’s understanding of attorney’s courtroom speech. In this connection the paper analyzes the conditions of usage and functioning of the mentioned meta-constructions by the material of courtroom speeches of the Russian attorneys of the second half of the XIX century, the Soviet and the modern Russian attorneys. The author justifies the thesis that the usage of author’s remarks in the courtroom speech is determined both by orator’s rhetoric skills and characteristics of addressee and the current proceedings.
