Selected Quantitative Characteristic of Synttactic Structures in Contemporary Theoretical Scientic Texts Written in Czech.

Original language description

The paper describes a selection of quantitative characteristics distinguishing the predicate in contemporary Czech theoretical scientific style. Our analysis of selected qauntitative characteristics of the given sentence member aims to substantiate or refute diferences among present-day theoretical scientific texts of various orientations. In order to achieve our targets, the research was based on a corpus of monological texts representing contemporary scientific communication written in Czech. The corpus thus includes team and authorial monographs, thematically divided into five fields recognised by the Czech Science Foundation (hereinafter GAČR). The completed frequential analyses support our claim that contemporary Czech theoretically scientific discourse avoids comlicated sentence structures or complicated compound sentences, employing lucid and clearly organised syntax instead. The scientific information is condensed into longer simple sentences and shorter compound sentences, showing preference of not very complex, concise, often formalised expression. The styling of scientific texts into longer simple sentences and shorter compound sentence is typical of all researched groups of fields and is reflected in succintness, coherence and general tendency to economy of expression resulting from the natural ambition to communicate the content in the most comprehensible way. Contemporary Czech theoretical scientific discourse conveys the specific content in a succint, coherent, formalised and isolated manner. The analyses of selected quantitative characteristics of syntactic structure did not evidence in the corpus of professional communication written in contemporary Czech prominent processes of linguistic differentiation between individual groups of fields. More distinctive disproportions were documented in the groups of technical fields with mathematics in contrast with other fields. Mathematical discourse is typified, most distinctly in the whole corpus of differentiated texts, by concise and coherent expression.
