Abstract

The informatization processes of society require training highly qualified specialists in the field of information technologies. For successful functioning in professionally oriented environment the future IT-specialists have to be able to create the information security policy text in English. The purpose isto analyse the linguistic and stylistic features of the information security policy text in this paper. Reviewing the samples of information security policy, the definitions of policy given by foreign scientists allows us to define the linguistic and stylistic features of the text. Among the linguistic and stylistic features there is the purpose, the sphere of application (professionally oriented), the theme, the function in the language (communication), the functional style (official and business) and its characteristics (accuracy, consistency, standardization, imperativeness, high information content), the substyle (administrative), the genre (information security policy), the form of speech (written monologue), the information presentation in the text (neutral), the type of administrative document (administrative), the functional purpose (stating type, narrative), the nature of the construction (the text written from the third person), the form of realization (written electronic / printed), the representation of reality (not literal text). Lexical and grammatical characteristics of the text are described. The structure of the text (introduction, roles and responsibilities, policy) is considered. The defined linguistic and stylistic features will serve as a basis for consideration of the set of exercises for teaching the students to write the text of information security policy in English.

Keywords:  functional style;  genre;  information security policy;  linguistic and stylistic features;  structure of the text;  future IT- specialists.
