Abstract

The subject of this work is to determine syntactic features of written discourse characteristic for the profession of Medical High School students. Our aim is to discern the most dominant syntactic traits of three different types of discourse: strictly scientific discourse, semi-formal conversational discourse, and popularlysicentific discourse. This work will be based on the relization of the discourse in three different styles: strictly scientific (discourse between two scientists, that is, between two medical experts), discourse used when addressing the patients (discourse between a doctor and a patient – an adult and a child), interesting facts related to the field of medicine (discourse used when addressing the media of radio and television communication). Descriptively comparative method used in the analysis of the discourse, reflects the presence of the same syntactis features in the three examined types of discourse with the exception of the fact that they have distinctive functions. Therefore, we have noticed the existence of syntactic adjustment, as well as the inadequate use of constructions characteristic for scientific style, as regards to the discourse used when addressing the patients and in the the field intended for interesting medicine. We will describe the types of syntactic features observed in the scientific work and in the discourse intended for addressing the patients and the wider, laic audience and will detect the specific, as well as the common syntactic features each of the discourse types possesses.
