Isi artikel

This paper aims to explore modality and its expression in biomedical research papers. The issue of modality was selected because it performs important linguistic functions in scientific communication. It is also assumed that modal expressions may be employed in all sections of a research article (introduction, material and methods, results, discussion). The corpus is based on the data excerpted from current biomedical research papers written by native speakers. These are investigated through quantitative and qualitative analyses and compared with the research articles written in English by Slovak researchers. The results are expected to be applied in developing Slovak writers’ and translators’ awareness of scientific discourse conventions within their specific research community.
