Hello Everyone, thank you for stopping by my very first blog for this year. Today's blog features my perspective and learnings from the unique properties of both Academic and Non-Academic Text. I will try to be brief with sharing my insights about this particular topic. Now without further ado, let's get on with the topic.
Academic Text is a type of text where professionals from each field create text only for the sole purpose of educating or teaching students or of those related to an academia or some sort. Academic Texts are written in a formal tone or way as it is objective and its topics tend to be somewhat complex in a way that mostly professionals only deal with these types of text. Examples of academic texts are Essays, Thesis Papers, Articles, Text Books, and many more. Academic Texts sometimes include citations from other researches as it is usually made to be factual hence it is evidence based. The formality in the way of expressing ideas to the readers really educates and encourages them to want to know how to make a better and more proficient academic texts than those that have already exist.
Non-Academic Text on the other hand, is a type of text wherein it is made to be targeted on a mass or public audience. It is usually made in an informal way involving personal emotions or opinions and prejudices, impressionistic themed, and mostly subjective. Non-Academic Texts are usually structured with simple words as it caters with anyone in the public regardless of age and other differences. Examples of Non-Academic Texts are Newspapers, E-mails, Journals, Text Messages, Memoir, and the list goes on.
Overall, Academic Texts are Objective, Formal, and are purposely made for educational purposes. While, Non-Academic is Subjective, Informal, and are created with a purpose to communicate to the mass public. Academic and Non-Academic Texts are two unique ways on how to express or relay ideas and messages to different people. Whether you are an averagely literate person or a highly literate one, both texts are created for a purpose to communicate and teach other people knowledge that others posses. We need to know the difference and uniqueness between these two, so that we may be able to relay on how or what these texts are purposely made for.
Thank you so much for giving your time for reading my blog for this week til the very end. I hope that you would consider sticking around for the next ones. Until next time, Goodbye!
