Актуальность изучения эпистемической модальности, передающей знание автора о сообщаемой информации и его отношение к ней с точки зрения ее достоверности, определяется необходимостью анализа лингвистических особенностей ее выражения.</p><p>   Цель работы – изучение морфологических, лексико-синтаксических и лексических средств выражения модального значения и определение их прагматических функций в англоязычных текстах инженерно-технической направленности.</p><p>   Изучение лингвистического компонента в создании научного текста на том или ином языке поможет иноязычным исследователям представлять свои научные аргументы в соответствии с аутентичными особенностями данного языка. Этим определяется теоретическая значимость изучения средств выражения эпистемической модальности как приема аргументации выдвигаемых научных положений, взаимодействия с получателем и выражения интеллектуальной ответственности. Изучение теоретических основ названной проблематики на примере работ зарубежных и отечественных ученых показало, что эпистемическая модальность научного текста реализует, главным образом, свойства субъективизма. Однако в отличие от других типов дискурса эпистемическая модальность научного текста обладает в пограничной степени свойствами объективизма, поскольку характеризуется наличием параметров таких значений, как оценка сообщаемой информации с точки зрения ее достоверности/недостоверности. В исследовании актуализируется положение о том, что категория модальности текста, в том числе научного, не поддается измерению. Определено, что выражение модальности англоязычного текста характеризуется незаметными «переходами» между различными уровнями ее реализации. В качестве некоторых из них рассмотрены языковые средства морфологического, лексико-синтаксического и лексического уровней. Это глагольная категория повелительного, сослагательного и предположительного наклонения, инфинитивные конструкции, модальные слова и лексика модальной семантики различных частей речи с семой ожидания/допущения. Данное исследование показало дополнительную прагматическую направленность средств выражения модальности англоязычного научного текста, определяемую необходимостью ненавязчивого убеждения профессионального сообщества в правильности представляемых сведений и результатов.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>   Modality is a complex grammatical and functional-semantic category which is reflected in various types of discourse. The relevance of studying epistemic modality, reflecting the author’s knowledge of the reported information and his/her attitude to it from the point of view of its reliability, is determined by the necessity to analyze the linguistic features of its expression in a scientific text.</p><p>   The aim of the paper is to study morphological, lexical-syntactical and lexical means of expressing modality and to identify their pragmatic functions in English-language texts concerned with engineering.</p><p>   The study of the linguistic component in a scientific text will help foreign researchers present their scientific works in accordance with the authentic features of English. This determines the theoretical significance of studying the author’s means of expressing epistemic modality as a method for reasoning their scientific propositions, interacting with the target reader and expressing academic responsibility. The study of theoretical works by foreign and Russian scientists has shown that epistemic modality of a scientific text implements mainly the properties of the author’s subjective approach. However, unlike other types of discourse, the modality of a scientific text identifies a certain degree of objectivity in the author’s approach since it is characterized by the assessment of the reported information in terms of its reliability/unreliability. The given study assumes that the category of modality of any text, including a scientific one, is difficult to analyze statistically. It is known that the expression of the English text modality is characterized by imperceptible “transitions” between different levels of its implementation. Therefore, the paper considers some linguistic means at the morphological, lexical-syntactical and lexical levels. They include the verbal category of the imperative, subjunctive and presumptive types of mood, infinitive constructions, modal verbs and modal words of various parts of speech with the seme “expectation/assumption”. The article underlines an additional pragmatic aspect of modality means in an English-language scientific text concerned with the need for soft persuasion of the professional community to accept the information presented.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>научный дискурс</kwd><kwd>категория модальности</kwd><kwd>эпистемическая модальность</kwd><kwd>лингвистические средства</kwd><kwd>прагматическая функция</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>scientific discourse</kwd><kwd>the category of modality</kwd><kwd>epistemic modality</kwd><kwd>linguistic means</kwd><kwd>pragmatic function</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Баженова Е.
