Comparison category in medical text
Along with analysis and synthesis, comparison is a key mental operation, with the help of which it is possible to establish the similarity or difference between objects, phenomena based on a common feature. This allows you to determine the three-component composition of the comparison model: object, subject, sign of similarity. The fourth element distinguished by some linguists (the value of the sign of similarity) may not necessarily be present, which allows, in addition to syntactic constructions, morphological, lexical and derivational means, to consider the text as a means of expressing comparison. In the work of Yu.V. Belov "The Art of Coronary Surgery for the Purposeful" category of comparison is necessary in the following situations: making scientific prose more convincing, expressing the author's individuality, expressing the author's interest in the subject of research, drawing attention to necessary, but complex operational actions.
