ЕЗИКОВИ И КОМУНИКАТИВНИ ОСОБЕНОСТИ НА АКАДЕМИЧНИТЕ ЖАНРОВЕ АБСТРАКТ, ПРЕДГОВОР И РЕЦЕНЗИЯ

Abstract

The abstract, the forward and the review are genres with different frequencies of use and different functions in the implementation of the process of publishing scientific texts. The aim of the paper is to briefly highlight the linguistic and communicative features of three different academic genres in the context of contemporary academic communication. Academic genres have their place and purpose and are distinguished by specifics, with established standards at the structural, content, language and style levels. The forward still has its place in the publication of monographs and collections of papers; it is the result of expert evaluation or is the work of the scientific editor and synthesises in a review and critical perspective an already finished scientific product. The review or peer review has a different functional purpose in academia and is distinguished by established standards and strict rules. A review of a monograph is a presentation of a manuscript or published text and, unlike a forward, contains more elements of criticism. The abstract performs the functions of an announcement, of applying for participation in a conference, of disclosing achieved results in the scientific paper as a part of it or of presenting published scientific texts on sites (academic platforms, e-libraries etc.) personally or on behalf of publishing houses and journals. Some common linguistic features of the abstract, review and forward are terminology from one or several scientific fields, meta terms, nominative function, avoidance of expressive language, use of passive voice, etc.
