Содержание
The aim of the scientific prose style is to describe a phenomenon of science precisely, to reveal all the peculiarities of subject in question. The language of scientific prose is determined by a desire to prove hypothesis, to state laws, define concepts, etc. Hence the main problem is to establish a clear and logical progression of ideas and define the subject-matter precisely. For the purpose of precision the clarity, logical coherence, specific vocabulary and special syntax are employed [Shakkhovsky, 2008: 86].
All these peculiarities of the scientific prose style are common and encapsulated in strong frames, but the concept of its sub-style, popular scientific prose style, is much varied in terms of using stylistic devices. It brings us to the popularization of science. It is directly related to the nature and structure of the text as well as the usage of language means. This allows us to speak about specific characteristics of popular scientific prose style representation.
Выдержка из текста
In this term paper we deal with the scientific prose style and its sub-style, popular scientific prose style.
According to the point of view of McMillan, the purpose of science as a branch of human activity is to disclose by research the inner substance of things and phenomena of objective reality and find out the laws regulating them, thus enabling man to predict, control and direct their future development in order to improve the material and social life of mankind [McMillan, 2001: 314].
Scientific prose helps us to reveal and understand all the features of scientific phenomenon as they are.
The goal of this term paper is to analyse stylistics of the popular scientific prose.
To attain the target, we set the following objectives:
1) To distinguish scientific and popular scientific literature
2) To outline style shaping properties of popular scientific prose
3) To examine the corpus of different articles to reveal the communicative and linguistic peculiarities
