Seminar scope

Recent discussions on English for Specific Purposes have raised the issue of the frontiers between general and specialized languages and the different degrees of specialization that make a discourse or domain specialized.
In line with these questions, this seminar invites speakers to explore the making of specialized varieties of English from theoretical and applied perspectives.

Approaches include, but are not restricted to:

  • Specialization criteria;
  • Frontiers of specialized domains in relation to languages;
  • Specialized interdisciplinarity or multi-specialization;
  • Degrees of language specialization in corpus building/analysis or translation studies;
  • Evolutions of specialized discourse;
  • Rephrasing specialized discourse;
  • How specialized should ESP teachers be?

Please send your proposal on these themes or similar topics (300-400 words + keywords + bibliography, specify institution and laboratory) to the workshop's co-chairs before 15 January 2018.
