Abstract.
The article presents the results of a linguistic-axiological study of the nominative paradigm of British academic legal discourse, considered with regard to its linguistic and cultural specificity and professional orientation. The aim of the study is to identify the composition and structure of the system of legal value dominants represented in the nominative paradigm of British academic legal discourse, taking into account the specifics of their linguistic manifestation. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it has, for the first time, documented a six-component, nationally marked axiosphere characteristic of a narrow professional type of British discourse, identified its structural principle, and clarified the features of its linguistic marking. In addition, for the first time, a detailed analysis of the frequency ratio of axiological translations in professionally oriented educational nominations was carried out and the relative parity of value dominants within the system was revealed. The results obtained prove that the titles functioning within British academic legal discourse play a significant role in marking the axiological principles of law. It has been established that such value dominants as the rule of law, common law, independence of the judiciary, equity, freedom, and tolerance are verbalized within the studied subtype of discourse.
