This article deals with a set of problems related to the linguistic analysis of text. In particular, it discusses the criteria of such analysis, the texts that are the object of such analysis (recently, non-fiction texts have been increasingly used as such), its practical application, and the target groups for which it is intended. While the analysis of a text on the material of one language is quite well developed, the comparative description of texts on the material of different languages is insufficiently studied, which determines the relevance of this study. The model of contrastive analysis of media texts in Russian and English was first proposed by A.D. Schweitzer. The article raises the question to what extent this model can be used for the comparative study of texts of other functional affiliation. But the functional homogeneity of the text cannot ensure the accuracy and quality of the comparison, so it is necessary to limit the object of analysis more specifically, defining its status as a specific type of text. For this purpose, it is necessary to make some clarifications to the existing ideas about the so-called utilitarian, consumer or special texts, which have not yet received an unambiguous interpretation. In addition to Schweitzer’s model for analysis texts, other variants have also been developed in linguistics, focused mainly on scientific texts (J. Gennet, E.M. Krizhanovskaya, V.E. Chernyavskaya, S.T. Nefedov). Although these models were not originally designed for comparative analysis, they may well be used for this purpose. In conclusion, the author’s model of contrastive analysis of consumer texts is presented and the possibilities of its practical application are highlighted.
