Abstract
Language offers a structure that allows the author an individual option of relational linguistic means in order to establish a desired degree of informal relation to the target audience or to assume a more subjective stand towards the subject matter. The purpose of the present paper is to demonstrate the role of the lexical relational structure in creating the English academic discourse and the relation achieved. The study has revealed that it is not only the first person pronoun which is getting more popular in the academic discourse that may establish a relation between the scientist and the audience, but language possesses a far more diversified and complex lexical and syntactic relational structure which allows a broad scale of desired degree of interactivity. The article is oriented towards those who are writing course and bachelor’s degree papers and scientific articles in English.KEY WORDS: academic discourse, persuasiveness, emphasis, relational lexical linguistic means, cliches, transitions.
