| Description | This paper shows that the language, especially the terminology of scientific literature differs from that of other literary genres. On the one hand, this difference is caused by the very distinction of the literary genre concerned and on the other hand it has to do with the fact taht Aristotle described above all the sexual intercourse of animals and not of the human race. The disparity lies mainly in the plenitude of expressions which were used for sexual intercourse. |
