THE CHARACTERISTICS AND ASPECTS OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE: THEORY AND EXAMPLES"

This article is devoted to the study of the characteristics and aspects of scientific discourse, its theoretical foundations and practical application. The key concepts of discourse, the distinctions between discourse, speech, and text, and their relationship are examined. The paper analyzes the main approaches to the definition of discourse in linguistics, philosophy, and sociology, including works by researchers such as M. Foucault, N. D. Arutyunova, V. I. Karasik and T. A. van Dijk. Special attention is paid to the analysis of scholarly discourse as one variety of institutional communication. Its specific characteristics, such as strict logical structure, objectivity, terminological precision, and intertextuality, are considered. The article also provides examples of political, scientific, and media discourses in three languages (Uzbek, Russian, and English), demonstrating the influence of cultural and pragmatic factors on discursive practices. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of scientific discourse as an important mechanism for social communication and knowledge sharing. The study can be useful for linguists, philologists, sociologists, and researchers engaged in the study of communication in an academic environment.
