Abstract

The article is dedicated to analyzing the discursive features of describing speech disorders in contemporary scientific literature. The study emphasizes the importance of terminological precision, structural clarity, and stylistic adaptability in scientific texts that address speech disorders and corrective practices in speech therapy. The research is based on qualitative discourse analysis of texts, selected from peer-reviewed Ukrainian professional journals, published over the past five years. The objective of the study is to identify key characteristics influencing the perception and effective use of such texts by researchers, practitioners, and specialists in related fields.

The analysis of structure, terminology, genre, and stylistic features of the texts revealed several challenges and trends in modern speech therapy literature. In particular, the study identified significant variations in terminology usage, which often create barriers to interdisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, many texts were found to lack sufficient adaptation for practitioners, complicating their application in real professional activities. Genre analysis highlighted a gap between theoretical studies, which often lack specific recommendations, and empirical works that focus on narrow aspects without broader generalizations.

A set of recommendations for improving scientific texts is proposed, including the standardization of terminology, integration of practical examples, simplification of language, and adaptation of content for diverse audiences. Enhancing discursive strategies will contribute to improving the efficiency of interdisciplinary communication, the quality of educational materials, and the practical application of scientific research in speech therapy. The findings of this study can be used to develop methodological recommendations that ensure an integrative approach to addressing the tasks of speech therapy science
