Метатекстові засоби додаткової інтерпретації тексту наукової журнальної статті

Abstract

This paper deals with the form and use of meta-textual reformulation markers in research medical papers written in English. Considering the form and frequency of the markers, our results show that specification (when authors expend the content of some utterance or notion, synonyms, paraphrasing, and author’s explanations seem to be the most widely used. The analysis of the text corpus enables to find out that English authors usually reformulate to add more information to the concept. These meta-textual markers help to reduce the cognitive load on readers.
