III. DISCUSSION
THE EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH
There are eight parts of speech in the English language: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb,
preposition, conjunction, and interjection. The part of speech indicates how the word functions in
meaning as well as grammatically within the sentence.

1. NOUN- A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.

2. PRONOUN - A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.
3. VERB - A verb expresses action or being.
4. ADJECTIVE - An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.
5. ADVERB - An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
6. PREPOSITION - An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
7. CONJUNCTION - An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
8. INTERJECTION - An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

 Academic writing
Academic writing is a core subject in the academe.
Academic texts and non-academic texts are different from each other.
 Academic texts are critical, objective, specialized texts written by experts or professionals in
each field using formal language.
 Meanwhile, non-academic texts are different from academic texts. It is because non-
academic texts are non-objective texts that can be written by anyone by using informal or
casual language. Non-academic texts usually include one's opinions and point-of-view.

The differences of academic texts and non-academic texts are explained in detail below.
More Details on Academic Texts and Non-Academic Texts
Academic Texts
 Academic texts are objective. This means that they are based on facts with solid basis.
The emotions of the authors cannot be felt from texts or materials.
 Academic texts are written by professionals in any given field (e.g. medicine,
architecture, economics, etc.). These professionals include doctors, architects,
economists, among others.
 Academic texts often take years to publish because of intense writing and review.
 Academic texts use formal words and may contain technical terms that are related to a
certain field.
 These kinds of texts usually include a list of references where authors based their
information.
Examples of academic texts are:
 books
 academic journals.
Here are examples of academic journals:
 Scientific journals (e.g. The American Journal of Public Health, Nature, etc.)
 Humanities journals (e.g. Humanicus, Journal of Medical Humanities, etc.)
Features of Academic Writing
There are eight main features of Academic Writing:
1. Complexity – Written language is more complex than spoken language. It has longer words
and has more varied vocabulary. It uses more noun-based than verb-based phrases. Written texts
have more grammatical complexities.
2. Formality – Academic writing is relatively formal which means avoidance of the use of
colloquial and slang words and expressions.
3. Precision – Writing academic texts requires precise facts and figures.
4. Objectivity – Academic writing tends to use nouns rather than verbs since it is written
objectively rather than personally. The main emphasis is not you but the information you give and
the arguments that you make.
5. Explicitness – It is the responsibility of the writer in English to make the readers understand
how each part of the text is connected to the other through the use of transition words.
6. Accuracy – In academic texts, most subjects have narrow specific meanings because academic
writers use vocabulary accurately.
7. Hedging – This is done differently in various subjects since it is necessary to make a stand on
particular subject in any kind of academic text.
 8. Responsibility – In academic writing, you must be able to provide evidences and justifications
for any argument that you make. Understanding of any source text you use is your responsibility.
This is done by paraphrasing and summarizing what you read and acknowledging the source’s
information or ideas by means of citation.
Non-Academic Texts
 Non-academic texts are non-objective. These texts tend to be more personal and based
on opinions or one's point-of-view. Opinions are neither correct or incorrect.
 Non-academic texts are written for the mass public. There is no specific audience for
non-academic texts.
 These are published quickly and can be written by anyone. No specialization is needed.
 Authors of non-academic texts use casual, informal language. These texts may also use
slang.
Examples of Non-Academic Texts
 Personal journals
 E-mails
 Text message
Features of Non - Academic Writing
1.Colloquial language: Nonacademic writing often uses colloquial language, slang, and contractions.
This means the writing often comes across as more conversational.
2. Informal tone: Nonacademic writing typically has a more informal tone than academic writing.
3. Personal opinions: A writer's personal opinions and feelings are often included in this style of
writing.
4. Less formal structure: There is usually no strict structure or format to nonacademic writing styles.
5. Less emphasis on research: Writers often rely more on personal experience and anecdotes in this
style of writing.
6. Use of humor and figurative language: Humor and figurative language can make writing content
more engaging.
7. Less or no citation requirement: Nonacademic writing often doesn't require citations and
references.
8. Simplicity and brevity: Writing is often simple and brief, as it is designed to be easily understood
by a wider, general audience.
 Academic Language
Academic language is the language needed by students to do the work in schools. It includes, for
example, discipline-specific vocabulary, grammar and punctuation, and applications of rhetorical
conventions and devices that are typical for a content area (e.g., essays, lab reports, discussions of a
controversial issue.)
