- The language is more specific, it is embedded into semantic fields and networks of concepts - It uses a more formal register and style - It is more abstract or generalised in word choice - It is more precise and succinct - It is more explicit and detailed - It is more cohesive (explicitly linking ideas, sentences and parts thereof) - It is more rationally structured - It is more coherent or goal-oriented in terms of the overall structuring of a discourse or text; - It thus requires more planning, self-monitoring and other forms of user control - It leads to basic forms of classroom-scientific discourse to which all learners are entitled and which are fundamental prerequisites in order to learn efficiently, in order to survive school and in order to become a social agent and participate inside and outside of school as a democratic citizen.
