The structure of cognitive type of scientific article on mountain ecosystems is given in the article. The purpose of the research is to build a structure of cognitive type of scientific article describing mountain ecosystems. For achievement of the stated work’s aim it was necessary to solve the following problems: 1) to explore the text corpus of scientific article on mountain ecosystems; 2) to define the topical structure of cognitive type of scientific article describing mountain ecosystems; 3) to present verbal fragments for each compositional-thematic unit; 4) to describe pragmatics of text realization of scientific article on mountain ecosystems; 5) to build mini-thesaurus of words and phrases. The author justifies the thesis that the cognitive type of a scientific article is the basic part of one of the cognitive blocks in the system of human knowledge representation in subject area “Mountain ecosystems”. The main elements as: (people’s life’s work, environmental pollution, environmental protection, constant nature monitoring) are defined. There are words and phrases which are arranged in sub-topics in English and Russian. These words and phrases are samples from the text corpus of the subject area “Mountain ecosystems” and are not ready texts, but their blank for discoursive activity not only for specialists in this sphere but for everybody who is interested in ecological problems in English and Russian. Summing all up, it can be noted that the structure of the cognitive type of the scientific articles is a mental-linguistic frame used by the authors of the scientific articles in the process of generation of texts and the readers in the process of understanding. The structure of the cognitive type is presented by a scan of a specific topic and verbal fragments for each thematic unit. The reader is able to solve or suggest a solution to the critical environmental situation in the ecosystem based on the data obtained in the course of the text description of the environmental problems of mountain ecosystems.
