Beyond the Universe of Languages for Specific Purposes: The 21st Century Perspective

Abstract

This present book contains a collection of 29 papers from a variety of countries and written in various languages to represent this diverse variety of subfields. One main strand of papers relates to the teaching of LSPs, mainly at the university level. Many of these articles discuss different subjects of study or new approaches to methodology. A second major strand of papers in the present volume relates to linguistic aspects of LSPs, including several contributions focusing on the areas of Economics and Marketing. The final major theme appearing here is translation and interpretation and LSPs. This last group often overlaps with the linguistic studies in examining different aspects of language in translation. The remaining articles focus on specific fields of study or the methodology of translation and interpretation.
