The Scientific Prose Style. It is characteristic of a professional style. The main function is to prove some hypothesis to create new concepts, to explain internal laws of development and links between phenomena. This style is marked by laconism, clarity and logical cohesion. The most remarkable features are:

• 
  The abundance of terms denoting objects, phenomena or processes of a particular branch of science or technology;
  
• 
  The vocabulary used bears its direct referential meaning (i.e. no emotiveness);
  
• 
  Sentence patterns are of three types: postulatory, argumentative and formulative;
  
• 
  Frequent use of quotations and references;
  
• 
  The use of foot-notes (примечания);
  
• 
  The use of passive constructions and clichés.
