Abstract. The paper aims to prove that during a trial, a defence attorney and a prosecutor use the same communicative techniques to influence the jurors. The author describes the basic characteristics of the court discourse and identifies specificity of a lawyer’s communicative behaviour during proceedings. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the researcher for the first time analyses opening and concluding speeches of a defence attorney and a prosecutor by the material of the English-language feature films. The research findings are as follows: the author proves that at different levels of communication, a lawyer, exerting verbal influence on the jurors, uses different speech techniques that perform the suggestive function and allow bypassing the restrictions conditioned by specificity of the court discourse.
Key words and phrases: судебный дискурс, прямое коммуникативное воздействие, суггестивная функция, речь адвоката, речь прокурора, court discourse, immediate communicative influence, suggestive function, defence attorney’s speech, prosecutor’s speech
