Autors: 
Batyushkina Marina Vladimirovna, Legislative Assembly of the Omsk Region
Abstract: 

The article presents the results of a study of the functional, formal and substantive features of the texts of Russian laws, which approve program-goal docments (development strategies, concepts, programs, forecast plans, etc.). The article is based on discourse and genre approaches to the study of legislative texts, the legislative text space as a whole. It is noted that, on the one hand, this type of laws reflects the general features of modeling and transроforming of modern legal discourse. reproduces the institutional aspects of the legislative process. broadcasts legislative intentions, strategies and tactics. On the other hand, laws that approve documents of a program-goal nature have distinctive characteristics that allow defining these laws as a separate subgenre type. The subgenre of law is defined by the author on the basis of the following parameters: (1) intention of the uthor. (2) the purpose and functions of the law. (3) the factor of the subject of legal discourse (author/addressee of the law). (4) spatio-temporal and other circumstantially determining characteristics reflected in the text of the law explicitly or implicitly (who adopted and signed the law, during which period and in which territory it is applied, etc.). (5) type of institutional action. (6) the institutional status of the law within the system of laws. (7) subject-thematic “radius” of the text. (8) formal segmentation of text. (9) features of the correlation of functional semantic types of speech. (10) degree of uniformity, subgenre markers and clich?s. The formal and informative structures of program-approving laws are analyzed on the basis of the fol-lowing segments: pretext and post-text details, intra-text components, post-text application (approved document). These segments are analyzed from various points of view: obligation, localization, combinatorics, unification, etc. When conducting research, special attention is paid to structural, typological, comparative and other types of analyzes.
