Abstract

This paper addresses the issues of substantiation by the court of its conclusions of the sentence. The article discusses certain aspects of the content of the descriptive and motivational part of the sentence, its functional and semantic features. The article investigates the logical and linguistic methods, with the help of which the justification of the conclusions of the court is carried out. The author emphasizes that the appeal to the theory of argumentation enriches the legal understanding of the reasonableness of a judicial act.
