e. LESSON PROPER
Academic texts are critical, objective and specialized texts that are written by
professionals or experts in a particular field. They are written in formal language and
has a formal style, tone and well- structured. Since these are objective texts, they are
based on facts and contains citations. The emotions and feelings of the authors are not
delivered through them. Academic texts are well-focused, concise, clear, accurate,
and well structured. They are based on factual information and evidence, free from
repetition, exaggeration, rhetorical questions and contractions and are always in the
third person point of view. Generally, academic texts debate or provide answers to a
specific question in a field where academic audience are main target of the text. The
main purpose of academic texts is to enhance the reader’s understanding of a specific
field.
Examples of academic text
1. Literary Analysis- examines, evaluates, and makes an argument about a literary
works. It goes beyond mere summarization. It requires careful close reading of
one or multiple text and often focusses on a specific characteristics, theme or
motif.
2. Research Paper- uses outside information to support a thesis or make an
argument. These are written in all disciplines and may be evaluative, analytical,
or critical in nature. Common research sources (e.g., historical records),
secondary sources (e.g., peer- reviewed scholarly articles. It involves
synthesizing this external information with your own idea.
 3. Dissertation- is a document submitted at the conclusion of a Ph.D. Program. It is
a book- length summarization of the doctoral candidate’s research.
4. Other examples are Books and book reports, translations, conference paper,
academic journal, abstract and explication, essays, theses, case studies.

Non-academic texts are writings that are informal and casual language and
dedicated to a lay audience. They are emotional, personal and subjective without any
kind of research involving. Therefore, anyone can write a non-academic text where
giving of citations is optional and has no rigid structure. Newspaper articles, e-mail
messages, text messages, personal journal entries/ journal writing, memoirs,
autobiographical writing, e-mails, text messages and letters are some examples of
non-academic text. Some features of Non-Academic Texts are less formal (may
idioms, slangs, contractions), casual language, use any point of view, opinion-based,
free of rigid structures and on general topics and the targeted audience are in general.
