As in other legal texts, these texts also have their own linguistic characteristics. In the research framework, we have tried to show discursive features and functions of the indictments on two sample texts, “Ergenekon Indictment”, consisting of 2455 pages, and “Balyoz Indictment”, consisting of 1001 pages, which were obtained on the internet.
