Information and analytical discourse as a kind of metascientific discourse: key features
Information and analytical discourse is highlighted in the context of scientific discourse. It is suggested that this type of discourse has some of the attributes of scientific discourse, but no connection to the specific science. We has made an attempt to analyse it by the method proposed by V.I. Karasik: typical participants of information and analytical discourse, chronotope, goals, values (including key concepts), strategy, genre, precedent texts and discourse formulas are defined. The selection of these components is justified by the lexical composition of the texts of information and analytical genres. The institutional character of the information and analytical discourse is proven.
