Skrypty nauk ścisłych w kontekście badań nad metajęzykiem

Ability to write Natural Science textbooks in a clear and interesting manner is a very demanding task, but the use of numerous metatextemes can help the authors to achieve it. With the application of metatextemes they can create a recipient-friendly article. These constructions have various functions, but the scientists often forget about them and concentrate mostly on showing the results of their analysis. Metatextemes help the authors e.g. to organise and present their line of thoughts, and to inform the recipient about the steps undertaken by the author and their attitude to the information they present. With the use of these metaoperators the researchers can highlight the most important information in the text and refer to research of other scientists and most of all, they help to establish a relationship with the reader. These measures have many different functions, and in this article we present their role in academic books on Natural Sciences with their characteristics and examples. The authors of scientific texts should pay more attention to the language and constructions they use in their texts, because in this way they influence the reader and their impressions and also their attitude towards data presented in the text and to their author.
