ACTIVATING LINGUISTIC AND PRAGMATIC INDICATORS IN SCIENTIFIC TEXTS: PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS AND STRATEGIES

Abstract

This thesis explores the practical applications and strategic approaches for activating linguistic and pragmatic indicators in scientific texts to enhance clarity, precision, and communicative effectiveness. Scientific discourse relies heavily on carefully selected linguistic structures and pragmatic mechanisms that facilitate accurate interpretation, guide reader comprehension, and support the effective dissemination of knowledge. The study examines key linguistic indicators such as vocabulary choice, sentence structure, coherence, cohesion, and grammatical precision, alongside pragmatic indicators including hedging, modality, politeness strategies, intertextuality, audience adaptation, and relevance signaling. Particular attention is given to how these elements can be strategically adjusted to improve accessibility for diverse academic audiences while preserving scientific rigor
