2. “Differentiate language used in academic text from various disciplines”
An academic text is a formal piece of writing
used in schools, universities, and research. It is
written by students, scholars, or researchers to
share ideas, knowledge, or findings in a clear,
structured, and evidence-based way. Academic
texts are commonly found in essays, reports,
theses, journals, and research papers.

3. Context of Academic Text
The context refers to the situation or environment where the academic text is written
and read. It includes:
• Purpose: To inform, explain, analyze, or argue.
• Audience: Professors, classmates, researchers, or
professionals.
• Setting: Educational or scholarly settings (e.g., classroom,
university, conference).
• Tone: Formal and objective (not personal or emotional).

4. • Formal language and grammar
• Use of evidence (data, citations,
research)
• Clear structure (introduction, body,
conclusion)
• Objective tone (no personal bias)
• Third-person point of view (often)

7. I. Purpose of the Report
The purpose of this report is to identify
and explain the differences in
language used in academic texts
compared to non-academic texts.

8. 1. Formal Tone 2. Technical Vocabulary 3. Evidence-Based
4. Third-Person
Perspective
● Uses formal and objective
language.
● Avoids slang, contractions
(e.g., “don’t”), and
emotional expressions.
● Sentences are well-
structured and
grammatically correct.
Example:
“The study reveals a significant
correlation between sleep deprivation
and cognitive performance.”
II. Language Used in Academic Texts
● Includes citations and
references (APA, MLA, etc.).
● Claims are supported with
data, studies, or expert
opinions.
Example:
“According to Smith (2022), climate
change significantly affects biodiversity in
coastal regions.”
● Usually avoids “I” or “you”.
● Uses third-person to keep
the tone objective.
Example:
“This paper will examine the causes
of economic inflation.”
● Uses subject-specific or
discipline-related terms.
● Aimed at readers who are
familiar with the field.
Example:
“The hypothesis was tested using a
double-blind randomized control trial.”
Academic texts are written to inform, explain, analyze, or
argue based on facts and research. The language used
has the following characteristics:

9. 1. Informal Tone
● Uses everyday, conversational
language.
● Can include contractions, slang,
idioms, or humor.
2. Personal Opinions
● Uses first-person (“I”, “we”) and
second-person (“you”).
● Expresses personal experiences,
thoughts, or feelings.
III. Language Used in Non-Academic Texts
Non-academic texts are written for general
audiences and serve purposes like entertainment,
opinion-sharing, or information in an informal
way.
Example:
“I couldn’t sleep last night because my brain just
wouldn’t shut up!”
Example:
“I believe online classes are
harder than face-to-face ones.”
3. No Structured Format
● No strict format or style
guidelines.
● May not include citations or
sources.
Example:
“Did you know that drinking water in the morning is good
for your skin?”

11. In conclusion, academic texts use formal, structured, and objective language designed to
communicate complex ideas and research findings. In contrast, non-academic texts use
informal, simple, and personal language to engage or entertain a general audience.
Understanding the differences helps writers choose the right tone and style depending on
the purpose and audience of their writing.
