Aestheticization of Scientific Texts

ABSTRACT Currently, there is no doubt about the availability of expressive means in the texts of scientific content. The aim of the paper is to analyze aesthetics means in scientific texts due to the author’s individuality and dialogical nature of scientific communication. The research materials are Spanish scientific articles and theses. The findings are discussed regarding the idea that there is a common intertextual space between the text created by the author and other texts that made up the author’s cultural and scientific experience. The conclusion is made that besides the traditional functions of intertextuality in the scientific text there is an aesthetic function.

摘要 目前，科学文本中表达手段的丰富性已是不争的事实。本研究旨在结合作者的个体特质与科学传播的对话性本质，对科学文本中的美学手段展开分析。本次研究的语料为西班牙语科学期刊论文与学位论文。研究围绕"作者原创文本与构成其文化与科学经验的其他文本之间存在共通互文空间（intertextual space）"这一核心论点，对研究结果进行论述。最终得出结论：科学文本中的互文性（intertextuality）除具备传统功能外，还兼具美学功能。
