Abstract

The results of a previous study (Banks 2018) suggest that the development of scientific writing is more conservative in times of great turbulence. In an attempt to verify this, samples were taken from the Mémoires de l’Académie des Sciences and the Philosophical Transactions for the years 1735, 1785 and 1835. The development over the years 1735 to 1785 was compared to that between 1785 and 1835. Analysis of the grammatical functions and semantic categories of themes and of process types indicates that there is some evidence in favour of the conjecture that scientific writers are more conservative in times of turbulence. Whilst this is not conclusive, it suggests that further research would be fruitful.

动荡时期与科学研究的发展文章，1735-1835

之前的一项研究（Banks 2018）的结果表明，在大动荡时期，科学写作的发展更加保守。为了验证这一点，从1735年、1785年和1835年的科学院和哲学汇刊中采集了样本。将1735年至1785年的发展与1785年至1835年间的发展进行了比较。对主题和过程类型的语法功能和语义类别的分析表明，有一些证据支持科学作家在动荡时期更保守的猜测。虽然这不是决定性的，但它表明进一步的研究将是富有成果的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Historical Pragmatics provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization. Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach.
