The article is devoted to highlighting the problem of different syntactic stylistic means realization in the speech of politicians that debate in the British and Ukrainian parliaments. In this paper the essence of debate as a specific and very important communicative event for the political life of both countries has been presented.

For the further all-embracing understanding of the specificity of the national debate in the parliaments of Great Britain and Ukraine, we found it necessary to analyze and compare the definitions of the key lexical units that designate the social phenomenon, taken from the present-day English and Ukrainian explanatory lexicographical sources.
