The article studies a problem of establishing special characteristics of the cognitive structure of building in English scientific-technical discourse. Communicative-pragmatic approach as well as textual approach in researching cognitive structures allow to identify the main characteristics of this structure and establish the essential features of its objectification in different types of texts (narrative, argumentative and descriptive). The number of these characteristics varies considerably and depends on the type of a text. The importance of the cognitive structure in the texts of scientific-technical discourse is underlined.
