Make a flowchart to clarify the following text:
Thert has been a long history of interest in the question of whether body build and personality are related.
One approach to this issue is the constitutional view, which postulates that the individual's biological
consitution gives rise to both physical and psychological attributes and thus that these two sets of attributes are
inevitably interrelated.
UNIT 5. TYPES OF SCHOLARLY
(ACADEMIC) ARTICLES*
* Based on the Modern Language Association Style Manual (1985), ed. Walter S. Achtert and Joseph Gibaldi
Scholarly articles are of several types, among them:
a. factual/critical articles
b. book reviews
c. review essays
d. reviews of research
e. research reports.
Scholars also write articles for audiences not restricted to specialists in their own field; such articles may
discuss, for
example, the current state of understanding in a discipline or matters of public interest from the
point of view of a particular discipline.
FACTUAL/CRITICAL ARTICLES
Current usage blurs the sharp dictinction that was once observed between «scholarly», or factually based,
articles and «critical», or theoretically based, articles. Either type requires the scholar to:
a. demonstrate familiarity with the previous scholarship of the topic
b. suggest an original thesis
c. present supporting evidence
d. point to the significance of the proposition advanced
The best scholarly articles incorporate all four aspects in a proportion appropriate to the subject and
audience.
Exercise:

A. Education and Tolerance

2. For each text, decide which of the above labels best describes the type of text it is.
3. A. Decide which of the four aspects of a typical scholarly text it incorporates.

developed.
