Genological definition of a notarial act means a multi-segmental text,whose intention is a change of extra-lingual reality.It presents a fragmen tof the world associated with material sphere of life and characterizes with a precise, impersonal and schematic way of verbalization. A notarial deedas an utterance genre is a collection of variants including a canon pattern (with long-term structural, pragmatic, cognitive and stylistic exponents, consolidating the genre identity), which is in the centre of the genre reference field and not too varied alternation patterns (structural transformations of the canon pattern with a shift of illocution potential, the picture of the world or stylistic means), locating itself on the peripheries of the genre field. Adaptation patterns following other genres do not occur. The specific quality of the genre is, however, the use of autonomous texts representing other official genres (agreement, last will, full powers, official record), included in the structure of the notarial deed. Like the global structure, they are formed according to patterns typical of individual genres. The structure of the whole includes a text frame and the main part (genre borrowings). Stylistic exponents of a notarial deed comprise a strict formulaic character, specialist terminology, nominal and analytic constructions, formation of the text by means of catches and points, strong signals of the beginning and the end. Utterances are explicit and precise, often impersonal and standard; characterize with strong intertextuality. There are no expressivisms or colloquialisms. The genre, having been formed through ages of notarial practice, has a normative-usual character. Due to durability and stability in all aspects of the pattern, a notarial deed guarantees citizens legal order and a sense of material safety.
