The issue of fake news identification was approached from the corpus linguistics and discursive studies perspective. The texts of both actual and fake news have been analysed in search of dependences that would permit the increase of the ability to determine the probability of the given news being real or fake, taking into account the discursive characteristics of the particular texts.
