Abstract. The article deals with the technique of semantics categorization of text units in order to formalize the individual stylistic characteristics of the author's text by the example of categorical-semantic analysis of procedural character in the texts of English-language journalists. On the basis of the analysis with the use of statistical methods of applied linguistics, the author comes to the conclusions about the function of certain semantic sub-categories of procedural character and the author’s preferences in the use of verbal units with a narrow and a broad scope of meaning.
