Russian language is unique in nature. One and the same word can have many different meanings and interpretations. This is what often confuses foreigners and misleads them when studying our speech. I would like to talk about what an article is, what nuances and features of this word exist.
Definition of a concept
It is worth mentioning that most often the term “article” is used from the standpoint of journalism. What, then, does this concept mean? Articles are a special genre of journalism where the author sets himself the task of analyzing social processes, situations, and phenomena. Moreover, they can include both theoretical and practical generalizations, an in-depth analysis of facts and phenomena. It is worth saying that the articles themselves carry a huge number of different functions useful to society.
Types of Magazine Articles
What could be an article in a magazine? This question can be answered in different ways, but still now I want to consider the varieties of journalistic articles. The first classification was provided by the scientists A.A. Tertichny. In his opinion, articles can be general research, practical-analytical and polemical. Another scientist, I. Kadykova, provides a slightly different classification. According to her, articles can be advanced, propaganda, problematic, theoretical and journalistic. To the present, the last three types are more characteristic, propaganda articles were relevant only during the election period, and the first option, advanced articles, was relevant during the existence of the country of councils.
Research Article
One of the important subspecies is scientific articles. These are texts in which the results of scientific research and searches are presented. Important information will be that, unlike journalistic articles that do not have such a clear structure, a scientific article should be compiled in accordance with all the rules. Only in this case can it be published in the journal. In addition, there are much more requirements for scientific articles with respect not only to the structure, but also to the presented version itself.
About Species
Be sure to pay attention to the varieties of articles. What are they like? There are a huge number of classifications. Moreover, various factors are taken as a basis. At this stage of studying the topic, I want to consider the types of articles published in scientific journals:
- Full-format. Main goal: informing scientists about the latest innovations from the world of science (modern research, development). The volume is quite large, with an average of 8-12 pages of printed text. Such articles are mainly published by applicants for scientific degrees (candidate or doctor of science), as well as students who wish to obtain a master's degree.
- Brief messages. The main goal of such articles is to inform scientists about personal experience, about the results of an experiment, and about developments in a scientific problem. The volume of articles is rather small - up to 6 pages.
- Hypothesis. A rather interesting subspecies of articles, which often has no practical confirmation. Reflections, opinions on a specific problem, assumptions can be written here. However, further this published hypothesis must be either confirmed or refuted (which again needs to be notified to all scientists through the publication of the results).
- Scientific ideas. These are extremely small articles - about half a page of typewritten text, where the author presents his idea for general consideration, expecting either support and praise from society, or criticism.
Other classification:
- Scientific and theoretical articles. These are texts in which the author presents the results of a theoretical search for a problem. The following fact will be interesting: most of the laws were discovered precisely through theoretical reasoning.
- Scientific and practical articles. The text in them is devoted to practical experience and scientific experiments. An important part of such an article is the presentation of the results.
- Scientific and methodical articles. This is an overview of methods, processes, tools, thanks to which you can achieve a certain scientific result.
Articles on the Internet
We examine further what articles are. Today, texts posted on various Internet resources deserve special attention. This is a new, special kind of article that authors submit to the public. What is the main thing for such publications? First of all, it is uniqueness. The text should be new and fresh, it should attract the client, giving him the maximum of information of interest. No "water", hackneyed phrases, monotony. An important element of this type of article is the so-called “keys”: these are certain words or phrases by which people identify issues (these “keys” are most often entered in a search engine to find the information you need). Well, of course, such articles also have different types.
- Educational articles. These are texts that help people master a certain business. Often in this section various master classes with photos and detailed explanations of the whole process can be presented.
- Informational. Their main goal is to clarify, discuss a specific problem.
- Reviews. In these articles, authors most often characterize a specific subject. It can be reviews, reviews.
- Useful tips. One of the subspecies of articles in which the author provides for general consideration a list of tips that will help readers in a particular situation.
About the law
It is worth saying that the term “article” is used not only in journalism. So, there is such a thing as articles of the law. What is it? In short, this is a certain part of the legislative text. An article of law may be divided into sections, paragraphs, parts or paragraphs. The following points will be important:
- Articles of laws are subject to numbering (it is important to say that the identification number assigned to the article is unchanged even if, for example, the codes are amended and some articles are simply excluded);
- one article is devoted to only one fragment of the regulation of relations.
About money
It is worth saying that there are also items of expenses and income. What is it? How to understand this wording correctly? These concepts are most often used in the economy and characterize certain positions associated with income and expenses. Total budget revenue consists of the sums of revenue items, and total expenses - from the number of expenditure items. In order to more easily understand all of the above, these terms are best considered with a simple example. As a basis, you can take the budget of an ordinary average family. As for the revenue side, i.e. elements of filling the family budget, it’s the salaries of all its members, as well as other forms of profit (income from non-working activities, popularly called “hacking”, profit from rented housing, rented cars, etc.). Consumables mainly include the following items:
- The rent, utility bills are monthly mandatory payments.
- Meals are also monthly expenses.
- Clothing.
- Household chemicals, cosmetics, hygiene products.
- Fare.
- Miscellaneous (entertainment, recreation, beauty - a haircut, manicure, gifts, pocket expenses).
About Temin relatives
Often people may be interested in the question of whether there is a synonym for the word “article”. So, it is worth saying that one word that would replace this term does not exist. However, this is not scary. You can always find alternatives. If the matter concerns a journalist’s interpretation, the word “article” can be replaced by the term “text” (for example, “this text”) or “publication”. Regarding legal and economic interpretation, alternative variants of the term can also be found if desired.
