The article examines the use of syntactic stylistic devices in scientific prose. Sentences with emphatic do have been singled out among the great number of syntactic stylistic devices. The numerous examples with the emphatic do in English scientific prose confirm the hypotheses put forward by R. Budagov, S.S. Gusev, N.M. Razinkina, S.K. Gasparyan that a great number of stylistic devices are used in the language of science. The emphatic do in English scientific prose is not confined to the emphatic function only. The individuality of the author can often be easily traced in these examples. Through the use of the constructions with the emphatic do, the author expresses his opinion towards the idea stated. These structures often turn into an integral part of the language of science. Combined with other stylistic devices and expressive means they help the author to exert certain influence on the reader.
