Abstract. This article complements the description of the informative-motivational text, which has recently been gaining great popularity among other types of scientific texts. The research material of the article allows not to limit the study of this type of text to the texts of natural-science orientation. It is noted that the texts of legal orientation are also important for understanding the features of style. A large thematic variety of legal scientific articles with different tasks in relation to the reader is revealed. The type of the text researched by the authors shows rather high level of expressiveness due to the frequent use of lexical stylistic means. The terms “lexical stylistic means” and “epithet” are defined in the article from the point of view of their functioning in an informative-motivational type of the text. The importance of lexical stylistic means and other expressive means is explained by appealing to a wide range of addressees in this type of text in order to influence the public consciousness and to form images and stereotypes required by the author of the legal text. The creation of such images becomes possible through the use of various means of expressive devices. The main feature of the figurative presentation of legal material is the absence of a direct nomination between the described scientific denotation and the lexeme. The analysis of the material has shown the great prevalence of derivatives formed by suffixation in the legal texts. The paper highlights the idea that the presence, along with professional vocabulary, lexical stylistic means in the informative-motivational text of the legal language allows to emphasize the validity of attributing this type of text to a special type, namely informative-motivational type of scientific text. The presence of expressive means can be considered its characteristic feature, which is innovative in the study of scientific text.

Keywords: informative-motivational type of scientific text; legal text; lexical stylistic means; epithet; suffixation; emotional appraisal
