| Abstract: | The emergence of a 'new' discourse on science in connection with events to do with the environment, food safety or public health (e.g. the BSE crisis) has caused questions to be raised concerning the suitability of the triangular communication model generally applied to scientific popularization, i.e. in which there is an 'intermediary' discourse plying between science and the general public. This 'traditional' discourse would appear, then, to co-exist alongside the new discourse. In this study, the pragmatic functions of these two separate discourses on science are compared. |
