论互联网时代科技英语的特点

Characteristics of EST in the Internet Age

科技英语是在自然科学和工程技术领域使用的一种英语体系,它不是专业英语和基础英语的简单组合体,而是建立在基础英语之上的一种体系。伴随着科技的发展,科技英语也越来越彰显其特色,形成了自身的特点。在互联网时代科技英语的特点更集中体现在词汇、句法、语态时态和文体结构上;尤其在词汇表达和传播形式等方面,更具有形式丰富、个性化突出等新特点。

EST is a literary form used both in the field of natural science and engineering technology; it is not the combination of SE and BE, but a form based on BE. With the development of science and technology, EST increasingly specializes in its characteristics and forms its feature. In the era of Internet, the characteristics are fully expressed in the lexicon, syntax, voice, tense and the literary form structure, especially in abundant lexical expression and the unique style.
