Abstract
Identification of the word classes and sentence formulas characterizing the immunology sublanguage involved the demarcation of linguistic material specific to immunology from the other types of material in the articles studied. First of all, metascience material was separated from the immunology science sentence and given classification as M (above, p. 26). Second, sentences — generally, but not exclusively, from the “Materials and Methods” sections of articles — containing only one of the immunology word classes were not further analyzed, as they could not be used to show sentential relations among word classes specific to this sublanguage. The present chapter reverses this procedure: taking the word classes and sentence formulas of the science sublanguage as a starting point, we investigate the structure of the sentential material which forms the context of that sublanguage, and the connections between the latter and the former.
