The Intonational Peculiarities of Scientific StyleAttention is focused here on a lecture on a scientific subject and reading aloud a scientific prose. That is the type of speech that occurs in the written variety of language in prepared, public, formal discourse. This style is usually used by university lecturers, school teachers or by scientists, it is manifested in academic and educational lectures, scientific discussions, at the conferences, seminars and in classes. The lecturer’s purpose is: 1) to get the message of the lecture to the audience; 2) to attract and guide the attention of the audience; 3) to establish contact with the audience. This aim is achieved with the help of intonational means. Table 7
