NEUTRALITY AND EXPRESSIVITY AS RELEVANT PROPERTIES OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS

Abstract

The article discusses the question of determining the main features of scientific style. Analysis of the traditional descriptions of the main features of scientific style of the modern Russian literary language confirms the general trend of science towards standardization, absolutising, technocratism. The recognition of such scientific style’ properties as abstract, consistency, neutrality, etc. as the principal does not correspond to the properties that are manifested as a specific texts properties. Absolutization of some characteristics at the expense of the other leads to the exclusion the author (the subject of cognition) from the text. Recent years studies in lingvostilistic resolve this injustice. The author proposes to describe the style properties as a reflection of the dichotomous unity of the categories of “subjective” and “objective” in the language. This approach will allow to approximate the theoretical description of the scientific style to the actual texts. Properties which are defined traditionally as the opposite, will be able to be evaluated as relevant. Some directions of the future scientific style texts studies offered at the end of the article.
