Abstract
Our research deals with the category of inclusiveness in the language of science (empirical material selected from Anglo-American articles in the field of information and communication technologies). Some issues of inclusiveness have been studied in philosophy, pedagogy and linguistics, but there is any complex research of this phenomenon as a separate category of written scientific discourse. We want to study cognitive structure, ways of rendering as well as discursive features of the category of inclusiveness. Why do we research the category of inclusiveness within articles of information and communication technologies in Anglo-American scientific discourse? Scientific article is one of the main genres of scientific written discourse. It is used to exchange information and knowledge in scientific community. The main goal of Information and Communication (ITC) technologies is to change the world for better life. The main advantages of ITC are: improvement of world trade and development of world economic market; globalization of culture and communications; possibility for people to have an access to education, health, culture, etc. Category of inclusiveness is regarded as a cognitive-discursive category of scientific discourse. It can be expressed verbally and visually. We distinguish explicit, implicit as well as semi-implicit ways of rendering inclusiveness. Explicit ways of rendering can be defined as linguistic devices, which express inclusiveness clearly. We’ve classified five main groups of explicit inclusiveness, such as: verbs and phrasal verbs, nouns, adjectives, grammatical constructions as well as negative phrases with inclusive negation. Quantitative analysis shows that explicit inclusive lexical units are three-fourth of all inclusive lexical units (implicit and semi-implicit).
