Characteristics of Scientific Language and Poetic Expression

Scientific & Technical Language: Key Concepts

Understanding Terminologies

Terminologies are sets of voices characteristic of certain specialized scientific or technical disciplines. They are characterized by objectivity, accuracy, and stability, characteristic of their own voices, called technicalities.

Defining Technicalities

Technicalities are formed through referral procedures, the composition of Greco-Latin root words, abbreviations, acronyms, shortenings, lexical and semantic loans, changes in word meaning through metaphor or metonymy, and the invention of new words.

Elements of Scientific Discourse

The scientific discourse schema is an explanatory model for problem-solving. It often includes descriptive, narrative, sequential, prescriptive or instructional, and argumentative sequences.

Characteristics of Scientific Style

The scientific style strives for objectivity, logical expression, and clarity of exposition. It involves the construction of logical relationships, continuous impersonal and non-expressive elements, the prevalence of specific adjectives, and the complexity of noun phrases.
