Purpose. The article is devoted to the topical issue of linguistic argumentation. The subject of analysis is the logical and communicative organization of texts of economic discourse in terms of their ability to manifest a universal category of argumentation. The authors aim to establish and classify the types of logical-semantic relations that create the logical aspect of argumentation in the superphrase unity (SPU) of the modern economic text, as well as to show their functioning by the example of the connecting type of relations. Methodology. The works of national and foreign researchers in the field of linguistic argumentation make up formed the theoretical basis of the study, while the methods of contextual and comparative analysis, as well as inductive and deductive methods of scientific cognition are the methodological basis of the study. Results. The results of the work are that the authors conducted an inventory and described the logical-semantic relations that create the framework of the logical aspect of the textual argument in economic discourse; analyzed the means of expressing these relations, connecting independent sentences (or groups of sentences) in the superphrase unity (SPU) of the modern economic text, as well as the functioning of one of the three main types of logical-semantic relations-connecting relations and their semantic varieties. Practical implications. The results of the research can be used in a special course on text linguistics, for the preparation of textbooks, as well as in writing student’s course and diploma papers.
