To this end, we will first analyze the characteristics of scientific language in authentic texts. The focus will be on expressions that are used in most scientific texts, regardless of the subject area. You will learn in which contexts these expressions are used and what functions they have in the text. You will also practice using such scientific language formulations in your own academic texts.
