%X The aim of scientific prose style is to prove a hypothesis, to create new concepts, to disclose the internal laws of existence, development, relations between different phenomena, etc. The writer’s own ideas are shaped in formulae, which represent a doctrine, a theory, an argument or the result of investigation, thus creating the impersonal tone of scientific writings. The writer’s presence in scientific prose is revealed by indicating the addresser, the addressee and the third person(s) of the text as well as by using different types of mitigating (softening) words and phrases.
