Types And Structure Of Russian Scientific Texts

As is known, the way of linguistic study changed in the second half of the 20th century, especially since the 80s. It shifted from studying static language to studying dynamic language, language in use. Scholars began to pay more attention to communicative function of language, especially to the study of text. In former Soviet Union, characteristics of scientific writings were being further studied in 1960s and 70s. Since the 80s, scholars began to study text. They defined the unit and characteristics of texts and connection between sentences and means of connection. They mainly studied suprasentence entia in newspaper, political and artistic texts, but rarely studied the types and structure of scientific texts as a whole. In our country, the study of Russian scientific writings is still lingering on the type of writing, and study of the types and structure of scientific texts are never touched. So we believe it's necessary to make further study on it. Thorough and systematic study on basic characteristics, internal rules, types and structure of Russian scientific texts meet not only the need of the development of this subject but also the need to utilize the fruit of Russian language study to improve teaching this language in our country and to start a new phase of Russian teaching. The study on types and structure of scientific texts is of both academic meaning and much practical value.Referring to TEKCT as text in this thesis, we research mainly in Russian scientific writings and study types and structure of scientific texts.
