Scientific language, is a form of prose that has certain scientific terms, and aims to articulate conclusions drawn from experiments and observations. It is used in scientific texts and is objective, concise, and empirical.

Description

In applying the methods related to scientific discourse, such as experimentation, concept definition, compilation and evaluation of findings, etc., everything must be clear, precise and understandable; therefore, the language of science aims to be a mathematical language that guarantees precision.

Scientific language is impersonal. It explains the phenomenon in question, and doesn't explain the subjective situations of the people involved.

Scientific language doesn't contain normative language. It does not explain what and how truth and reality should be, but what they are. It is a language consisting of hypotheses and variables.
