Abstract

The research objectives are as follows: to identify the types of argumentative markers in the English-language scientific humanitarian and natural scientific discourse, to reveal the specificity of their realization. Scientific originality of the study is conditioned by the fact that the authors for the first time examine argumentative markers-function words typical for English-language scientific discourse. The paper provides a comparative analysis of argumentative markers functioning in natural scientific and scientific humanitarian discourse. The conducted research allows identifying the most frequent types of argumentative markers: clarification, conclusion, justification, objection, example. It is shown that in natural scientific and scientific humanitarian discourse argumentative markers mostly perform commenting, informative, indicative and organizational functions, which is explained by the specificity of discourse under study.
