Within the framework of a particular style of speech, several genres are usually distinguished, each of which is a special form of organization of the material. The scientific style is distinguished by a special genre diversity, which is determined by the need to convey the meaning of the provisions of science to different audiences.
Properly scientific style of speech
Most of the research monographs and solid scientific articles are of the scientific style proper. The peculiarity of this genre is that such texts, as a rule, are written by professional scientists for the same specialists. This academic style is very common in scientific works devoted to one issue, as well as in small-sized essays, where the author cites the results of scientific research.
The texts written in the proper scientific style are distinguished by the accuracy of presentation, verified logical constructions, an abundance of generalizing terms and abstract concepts. The standard academic text, compiled in this genre, has a strict structural composition, which includes a heading, an introduction and main parts, conclusions and a conclusion.
Scientific and informative genre of scientific style
The secondary form of the scientific style of speech is the scientific and informative genre. As a rule, it is composed on the basis of some kind of basic, pivotal text. This is often based on original monographs or articles. An example of texts made in the scientific and informative genre can be abstracts, abstract or abstract.
A scientific-informative text is a creatively revised presentation of the primary material, which completely coincides with it in meaning. However, it does not contain all, but only basic information, only the most essential information about the subject. Writing works in this genre requires the ability to work with scientific literature, evaluate sources and convey their content in a compressed form without distortion.
Other genres of scientific speech style
Linguists often combine texts of scientific reference, educational scientific and popular science genres of scientific style into one large group. These sub-styles are characterized by the orientation of information not so much to specialists as to those who are far from the specifics of the subject put at the center of the publication. In this case, not only the results of scientific research are important, but also the form of information presentation.
In the educational and scientific genre, textbooks and lecture texts are most often written. The scientific and reference genre, characterized by the utmost clarity and conciseness, is characteristic of reference publications, scientific dictionaries, encyclopedias and catalogs. Texts written in the popular science genre are less tied to special terminology. They are often used in books for mass audiences, as well as in television and radio programs covering scientific topics.
