Summary: Despite the significant attention that linguists have devoted to the argumentation strategy, comparative studies of the tactics of its implementation in different texts of academic discourse remain beyond the scope of linguists. This makes our comparative study particularly relevant, as it aims to identify common and distinctive characteristics of the tactic of rational justification of the thesis, which is one of the most common argumentation tactics in the genre of academic articles. The ed sentence constructions the academic texts of the same volume, particularly those in English and Ukrainian in the field of economics, enabled a conclusion to be reached regarding the implementation of the tactic of rational justification of the thesis. A total of 10,000 characters in each language were analysed, resulting in the formation of a corpus of 300 sentence structures in each language. The work of predecessors and the author’s own analysis enabled the identification of a number of communicative techniques employed in the studied tactics, including argumentative chains, cause-and-effect argumentation, the use of examples, numerical calculations, and statistical data. The comparative analysis revealed that the implementation of the highlighted techniques differed between the two languages. A survey of academic discourse in both English and Ukrainian revealed that argumentative chains were the most common method of updating the tactics of rational justification of a thesis (54% and 41%, respectively). Concurrently, the English-language discourse is more likely to utilise such linguistic conventions. The utilisation of numerical data and illustrative examples occurs with equal frequency in both the English-language discourse and the Ukrainian context (28% and 25% respectively). The use of cause-and-effect argumentation is more prevalent in Ukrainian-language discourse (34%) than in English-language discourse (18%). The identified trends reflect both the linguistic and cultural traditions of the academic language.
