Abstract. The study aims to contrast cognitive strategies used for the English-language and Russian-language abstracts of medical articles and to determine their frequency. Scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that a comprehensive contrastive analysis of the strategical organisation peculiar to the discursive space of the Russian-language and English-language abstracts is conducted for the first time. As a result, the strategy of informing is determined to be a macrostrategy of the world scientific communication as a whole; a Russian-speaking author favours strategies of generalisation and assessment, an English-speaking one prefers the strategy of comparison; the strategy of modelling a subject of scientific speech production reaches leading positions in the English-language abstracts, but in the Russian-language ones it is on outlying periphery.
Key words and phrases: когнитивные стратегии, научный дискурс, медицинский текст, жанр аннотации, cognitive strategies, scientific discourse, medical text, abstract genre
