Since scientific prose style is mainly written, sound means do not have any important function. The fact texts are written and monologicity reflect on thought organization and composition of the scientific text. These utterances deal with one topic; they are richly structured and hierarchically differentiated. But in spite of this fact, the individual content – topic elements are logically ordered. It is reflected on the composition of the paragraph: formally is segmentation shown by logical principles and methodological values of the particular science branch. Individual genres of the scientific prose style are usually divided into introduction, core and conclusion. The main genres are dissertation, scientific study and article. A paper and report are verbal, but usually are prepared (written) in advance. Special task in genres of scientific prose style has a title. It stands always apart from the text as an informative and orientation point. In scientific texts it is more abstract, shorter, it contains more terms and nouns. An explanation as a one of the macro-compositional means dominates, but scientific description is also present.
The great frequency of nouns is typical from the morphological means. The scientific text as a whole has nominative character. Presumptions for it are in lexis and sytax. Terms are usually nouns; if they are multiverbal they have a form of co-locative nomenclature. An occurance of the nouns is caused by tendency to use the means of the syntactic condenzation. This is the way to support exclusiveness, intelectualisation and conceptual richness of the utterance. Part of the speech structure of the scientific text is then fundamentally different from the spoken text. For example, interjection is almost not present at all. As for substantives and adjectives, the frequency is sharply higher and this occurs at he expense of the verbs. The frequency of the pronouns is internally rearranged higher frequency of the relative pronouns, while personal pronouns are not almost present at all and there is a less demonstrative pronoun. With an effort firmly join and syntactically unequivocally tight the text is related to quiet high number of conjunctions, annotations and prepositions. These means function for an expression of difficult thought relations and functionality. Specific is also using the grammatic categories. Singular at nouns has gnomic character. The present tense is preffered almost consistently from all verb tenses. Common is the first person singular (author`s plural), what has a general meaning also.
Modern scientific prose style is divided into higher and lower, or scientific-educational and scientific - popular. This segmentation is given by difference of the functions and difference of the used linguistic means. The border between the scientific-educational and scientific - popular is continuous. The scientific terms and stereotype constructions dominate in the scientific-educational style. Scientific-popular utterances has obvious didactical factor. Opposite to the scientific style the expressions here are descriptive, sentence is shorter, and structure of the text is richer. Instead of precise quotation, there are more paraphrasing, more graphs, illustrations and similes. There is lower index of repetition of the words than in scientific – educational texts.
