About this book

Specialized communication in science, technology or institutions is one of the most important and exciting fields of applied linguistics. The handbook captures the current and relevant knowledge of specialized languages and professional communication. It promotes international communication on central issues, where dialogue is urgently needed concerning both their intellectual underpinning and the day-to-day practices associated with them.
