Abstrakt: 

Apart from the core of academic discourse, both written and spoken, which must conform to the formal style rules, there are genres in the language of science where informality and personality features are perfectly adequate. Scientific discussion forums on the web enable the community of experts as well as science enthusiasts to seek answers to their questions and develop their ideas in an interactive and cooperative manner with few style restrictions, while maintaining the necessary clarity, matter-of-factness and truthfulness. The paper looks into the typology and distribution of lexical cohesive means in this genre (in the fields of physics and biology), particularly in comparison with formal academic texts.
