А., соискатель (Ереванский государственный университет, Армения) О ТОЧКАХ СОПРИКОСНОВЕНИЯ КЛАУЗАЛЬНЫХ АРХИТЕКТУР ЯЗЫКА ПРАВА И ФИЗИКИ Настоящая статья посвящена выявлению сходств и различий в синтаксической организации языка права и физики в английском языке. <...> Ключевые слова: язык права, язык физики, синтаксическая организация, сложноподчиненные предложения, причастные обороты, системно-функциональная грамматика. <...> M.H.Apresyan, R.R.Karapetyan, S.A.Petrosyan Romance-Germanic Philology Faculty Yerevan State University Alex Manoogian 1, 0025, Yerevan, Armenia ON CERTAIN CONVERGENCE POINTS IN THE CLAUSAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE LANGUAGE FOR LAW AND THE LANGUAGE OF PHYSICS The given paper aims at revealing distinctive features in the syntactic organization of the English for Law and English for Physics; specifi cally such syntactic units as complex sentences and participial clauses are subject to thorough structural and functional analysis in the registers mentioned. <...> The initial stage of the analysis comprises examination of the types and characteristic features of complex sentences as used in the language of hard sciences, namely that of physics. <...> Afterwards, authors proceed to manifest the analogous use of complex sentences complicated by participial clauses, reduced clauses, as well as consecutive and parallel secondary clauses in the language of law with the aim of exploring convergence points in the structural and functional characteristics of the syntactic organization in the registers considered. <...> Keywords: Language for Law, Language of Physics, syntactic organization, complex sentences, participial clauses, systemic-functional grammar. <...> Special Syntax to Reproduce Specialized Knowledge The existence of inseparable bond between form and content has been an axiom for centuries and laid a solid basis for scientifi c research in the fi eld of Arts and Humanities. <...> The given notion spread deep roots into linguistics as well and extensively framed the subsequent linguistic research shedding light on the development of language means and resources for both expressing the subtlest shades of meaning and maintaining linguistic functions. <...> As is known, this idea proceeds from the theory of Functional Grammar developed by M.A.K. Halliday (Halliday, 2004). <...> In the given paper we proceed from applying the underlying propositions of the theory mentioned, as well as its subsequent modifi cations and developments, to study the clausal architecture of two different special registers of language, namely the language of physics <...>
