Abstract: The article is devoted to the consideration of the means of expressing the elements of the sens structure of the Gramma books of Lawrentii  Zizanii (1596) and Meletii Smotrytskyi (1619).

In elucidating scientific text generation resources of that time, the author uses findings and achievements obtained by modern functional-stylistic, text-linguistic and communicative-functional studies in the field of scientific text that center upon its meangful structure. She also demonstrates the notion of scientific text informativeness as manifested by technical words, or terminologye, distinguished by means of glosses, etymological and hypo-/hyperonymic definitions. Also, she traces the formation of means of explication of obligatory categoris of Old Ukrainian scientific text, such as marcers of prospection and retrcerospection, text segmentation etc. as well as showing processes of development of standard language, codification, and individuation in scientific text production field.

The author argues that, with respect to the explication of difference between new and previous knowledge, designation of methods, and coherence, the texts she analizes are a fuzzy set. She proposes a typology of scientific texts based on the opposition between nuclear and peripheral text types correlated with religious / profane discourse.

The gramma texbook of Lawrentii Zyzanii has an incomplete meangful structure, tends to scholastic tracts with collapsed subtexts of old knowledge and limited markers of intertextuality. Renaissance trends should be associated with the expression of subtexts of authorization, methodological, and the glorification of cognition.

Much more textualization is used in Meletii Smotrytskyi’s grammar; here are the elements of the subtext of the new knowledge (personal contribution); instead of a dialogical presentation, the author applies other, more promising methodical methods of porting, segmenting material and addressing.

Keywords: history of Ukrainian Language, history of Ukrainian Linguistics, scientific discourse / text, meangful structure of scientific text, Laurentii Zyzanii, Meletii Smotrytskyi.
