Abstract

The study of specific languages, which are linked to certain areas of research, has become increasingly common and essential to the understanding of language as a whole. Therefore, this paper aims to study, analyze and compare existing language abstracts from two different fields of study: botany and literature. With this research, I intend to identify the linguistic similarities and differences between these two fields. The analysis of the results showed that the language used in the Literature abstracts there are a frequent use of adjectives, while the language used in the Botany there are a frequent use of nouns.
