Description

The Language of Science by Carol Reeves explores how scientific language is used and misused in everyday life. This book examines the goals and problems with scientific terminology and demonstrates its power and misuse in the media. Scientific communication has special qualities that set it apart from other forms of expression, and this title delves into how science interacts with popular culture. The book features a range of examples, including the MMR vaccine and the biological weapons debate, to illustrate its points. A glossary is also included for further reference. Ideal for students studying English Language, Linguistics, Journalism, Communications Studies, or Science Communication, this practical book provides valuable insights into the use and impact of scientific language.
