About the language of scientists often say that it is different "dry", devoid of
elements of emotionality and imagery. Such an opinion is excessively generalized:
often, in scientific works, in particular polemical ones, emotionally-expressive and
imaginative means of language are used, which, being an additional technique, are
clearly marked out against the background of purely scientific presentation and
give great scientific credibility to scientific prose.
Scientific style - the style of literary language, which has a number of
features, such as the preliminary thinking of the statement, monologue, the strict
selection of linguistic means, the attraction to the normalized language.
The following stylistic features are characteristic for a scientific language:
- clarity and objectivity of the interpretation;
- logical sequence and proof of presentation;
- generalization of concepts and phenomena;
- objective analysis;
- accuracy and conciseness of statements;
- argumentation and persuasiveness of statements;
- unambiguous explanation of cause-effect relationships;
- detailed conclusions.
Scientific style not a whim but a duty. Among scholars and researchers, it
has long been accepted that all scientific texts should be written in a certain harsh
style. This is due, first of all, to the need to avoid ambiguities and ambiguities of
certain scientific concepts. The original form of the existence of a scientific
language is written, which is explained by its decisive features, such as the
conceptual representation of reality, the logic of presentation. The scientific
language must be strictly proved, argued. Indeed, the scientific presentation is
mostly focused on the written language, which is clearly evident in the need for
many cases of at least partial transition to the elements of writing (to formulate
formulas, display tables, diagrams, etc.).
The concepts used by scientific thinking are expressed mainly by the
multicomponent structures characteristic of the written language itself. This is
