   abstract:
   In biology, a species is one of the basic units of
   biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is
   often defined as a group of organisms capable of
   interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. While in many
   cases, this definition is adequate, more precise or differing
   measures are often used, such as similarity of DNA,
   morphology or ecological niche. Presence of specific locally
   adapted traits may further subdivide species into subspecies.
   Species that are believed to have the same ancestors are
   grouped together, and this group is called a genus.

Publicistic style falls into 3 varieties: 1) oratorical substyle that is a spoken variety with new spoken types - the radio and TV commentary, 2) the essay, 3) journalistic articles.
The general aim of publicistic style is to influence public opinion, to convince the reader that the given interpretation of the event is the only correct one and to
cause him to accept the expressed point of view through logical argumentation and emotional appeal. Publicistic style is a blend of the rigorous logical reasoning, reflecting the objective state of things and a strong subjectivity reflecting the author’s personal feelings and emotions. This style is characterised by the following features: 1) coherent and logical syntactical structure with an expanded system of connectives and careful paragraphing, 2) use of the words with emotive meaning but stylistic devices used are not fresh and genuine, 3) the individual element is generally toned down and limited by the norms of the style, 4) brevity of expression.
