Description and narration in bell-lettres and non-fiction

The article discusses the possibility of transferring the distinction of description and narration reasoning, formed on texts related to common sense, to functional-semantic types of speech non-fiction of science, technology, management, etc. The tendency of science to concentrate on panchrony (as opposed to diachrony), operating with laboratory time calculated from the chronometer (but not by duree as event time) determines the transformation of the narrative about the changes in object into the description of its kinematics. As a result, the unexplicated variety of descriptions turns out to be enormous - from alocative descriptions of ideal constructs, through descriptions of places, spaces and geometries built on locative relationships to descriptions of phase spaces and the space-time continuum with pseudo-spatial time coordinate.
