Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The work is devoted to the analysis of business discourse operating in the multilingual space of Kazakhstan, a multinational state where official bilingualism is present, and paperwork is conducted in two languages: Kazakh and Russian (Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Law on Languages in the Republic of Kazakhstan). Particular attention is paid to the identification of certain language units and the textual features presented in the texts of this discourse. Since 2007, along with the process of implementing the national and cultural project on the trinity of languages in the Republic of Kazakhstan, documentation, business communication and training are conducted in three languages: Kazakh, Russian and English. This generally affects the formation of the language environment of modern Kazakhstan – real business bilingualism is impossible without a parallel knowledge of the Kazakh and Russian languages, Kazakh and English. Taking into account the used methods of description, generalization, systematization and business texts contextual analysis, we make an attempt to study the linguistic features of business discourse as one of the most important types of verbal communication at the moment, which is not characterized by a personality component. We analyze the text of the order “On the Approval of Typical Curricula of Military Educational Institutions Subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan” and the sections of the text “Typical Curriculum of Military Educational Institutions Subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Technical and Vocational Education Specialties Group “Military Science and Security”.
