The purpose of the work is to study the features of legislative articles on juration and oaths. The functional and procedural specificity of taking the oath (juration) is indicated. The structural components, lexical composition, unification, and variability of titles and texts of articles of this type are considered. The introductory, main and additional parts of the articles are distinguished. When characterizing the main part of a legislative article, attention is paid to the combination of texts of different types (expression of will, influence, persuasion). The legislative requirements used in formulating the introductory part (introductory-definitive) and additional parts (explanatory, informative and regulatory) are characterized. It is noted that, despite the existing structural and content-related differences, legislative articles on juration represent specific transformations of the general text type. The more templates are reproduced, the more such articles illustrate the features of legislative style. At the same time the use of clichés and means traditionally used in the construction of non-legislative texts introduces features of other (non-legislative) styles, their functional and pragmatic specificity into the article on juration and into the law where this article belongs. Methods and approaches traditional for legal linguistics are used. The research material is the texts of legislative acts.
