LINGUISTIC CORRELATION OF PRIMARY TEXT AND ITS VERBAL REPRODUCTION IN THE INTERROGATION PROTOCOL

Problem statement. The article deals with the problem of modern linguo-expert activity related to the use of interrogation protocols as a material carrier of negative-evaluative information about a person. The variability of expert views regarding the possibility of analyzing someone else’s speech in the interrogation protocol more and more often entails the lack of expert assessment of the materi-als of the preliminary investigation in criminal cases. The purpose of the study is to establish the nature of the relationship and the degree of approxi-mation of the primary and secondary texts, where the primary text is recorded on the phonogram, the secondary one is reproduced in the interrogation protocol from the words of the interrogated. The research methodology consists of theoretical approaches to the comparative analysis of the prototypical utterance and its secondary form. The material of the research is video and audio recordings of speech events of insult, as well as interrogation protocols, the descriptive part of which contains information about the recorded conflict speech. Research results. The study showed the maximum degree of formal-semantic affinity of the texts serving as the basis and their verbal reproductions, reflected in the interrogation protocols. The inter-rogation protocol also reproduces important paralinguistic characteristics of the voice of the person to whom the invective evaluative statements belong. Conclusions. The results obtained in the course of the study can be used in developing guidelines for experts involved in the analysis of speech material extracted from the interrogation protocol, as well as other indirect sources of information about expert objects. The proposed system of under-standing broadens understanding of secondary texts as objects of research within the framework of forensic linguistic expertise.
