ties 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] .language is used in reporting an experiment, in discussing a problem, in giving instructions as to how an experiment should be performed , in stating laws, or in defining concepts. It is generally agreed that the main problem for the scientist, as far as his use of language is concerned, is to define his subject matter precisely and to establish a clear and logical progression of ideas [Crystal, 1969: 251] .far as the vocabulary of scientific prose is concerned, we can say that special terms and professional words are an indispensible part of vocabulary, as well as Greek and Latin words and forms (datum-data, formula-formulae, etc): .g. Memorizing to-do lists and mathematical formulae came much later in our intellectual, social, and and neurological development..g. The rhyme-formulae of the latter six lines are here curiously varied. Working those formulae out is a college calculus problem.
(# justify gt; The progress which has been and is being made in human institutions and in human character may be set down, broadly, to a natural selection of the fittest habits of thought and to a progress of enforced adaptation of individuals to an environment which ahs progressively changed with the growth of the community and with the changing institutions under which men have lived. [Shakkhovsky, 2008: 88] words are avoided, as the exposition of scientific ideas requires clarity and exactness.terms used in any specific science is something referred to as jargon. Scientists attempt to establish themselves as professionals of their disciplines by using specialist terminology. However, jargon sometimes decreases readability and distracts readers from the main focus of the paper. When using jargon, it is very important to keep the audience in mind, and consciously consider when and how often to utilize specialized vocabulary. Here is the example of the jargon usage:
Heavy metals - The term is often used to describe toxic metal elements such as mercury and lead. However, a reader has no way to quantify how much an atom must weigh to be considered heavy, and there are nontoxic elements with greater atomic weights than either mercury or lead. Unless the reader already knows exactly which metals the jargon describes, the term offers little clarification.
(# justify gt; The Language of Science, William Gilman, claims, that:
The boldness of clarity, then, is our goal - clarity in sentence and paragraph, clarity in organization of the whole. Clarity is demanded of the person writing in the fields of science and technology. Clarity is also required from many others who don t work right inside those fields but have to deal with them. Clarity first. After that be a virtuoso if you like. Fancy flourishes are not forbidden ... in press releases, magazine articles, professional-society papers, technical books, research proposals, or simply progress reports to management, the need is for clarity, clarity. [Gilman, 1961: 4] example of ambiguity and its correction is offered in the same book. Clarity is achieved owning to syntax :: This is a process to convert low-grade iron ore, which has been found expensive. (The which portion was evidently tacked on as an afterthought, then a comma inserted to cure the trouble, but the which still leaves us guessing. What s costly - the process or the ore ?: This process to convert low-grade iron ore has been found expensive.another right variant: This process converts low-grade iron ore, but has been found expensive. [Gilman, 1961: 97]. Gilman argues that writing a scientific text is communication and communication demands clarity. Now we can be sure , that ambiguity creates a lot of problems, for example, misunderstanding, and to avoid it we should use all the components of the sentence precisely and in a logic way. The scientific prose is strictly logical; hence abundant use of connective elements with subordination prevailing over coordination. style of scientific prose is predominantly unemotional. Mostly it deals with the facts: .g. The purified peroxide, which is generally crystalline, is added to the aromatic solvent, and the decomposition is effected by heating, usually to about 70-80 ° C. achieve clarity it deprives emotionality. Yet emotiveness is not entir...
