<br /><br /><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> LSP Research Today:
General Approaches for Specific Purposes <br /><br />Introduction <br
/><br />The origins of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) research
are to be found in the rapid development of science, technology and
industry in the 20th century. Increasing internationalization led to
supranational efforts to standardize terminology, as can be seen, for
example, from the establishment of the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in the forties. These internationalization
efforts created their own theoreticians such as E. Wüster
(1898-1977), the engineer and founding father of Terminology Theory.
The twin drive of modernization and internationalization also demanded
practitioners who could teach LSP as a native or foreign language -
teachers who suddenly had to deal with new challenges with respect to
course content and learning objectives. <br /><br />Nowadays the term
LSP is used to refer to linguistic manifestations that are specialized
with respect to their form, content and use. Users of LSP are
professionals who communicate with each other, and with
non-specialists, in a wide range of knowledge-specific areas such as
business, engineering, medicine, tourism, etc. <br /><br />As for LSP
research, it now covers an “area within which various phenomena of
different degrees of complexity are being analyzed: (i) specific
lexical sets, terminology in particular; (ii) sets of linguistic means
(i.e. not only lexical ones) having special functions; (iii)
specialized texts and their genres; (iv) specialized communication,
including specialized oral communication” (Nekvapil 2006 ). When it
is product-oriented and language-based, LSP research still has the
concrete professional language user in mind, such as terminologists,
translators, interpreters, teachers and students of foreign languages
of specific purposes, journalists, copywriters, advertisers, technical
writers, lawyers, etc. Nevertheless, there is a growing interest in
the study of the communicative processes in LSP, written and spoken,
“with a theoretical shift towards sociolinguistics and social
constructivism, and a methodological shift towards ethnography,
conversation analysis and critical linguistics” (Gunarsson 2008
).<br /><br />The objective of this special issue of ITL is to
contribute to these new trends by presenting papers that examine LSP
in written and oral discourse and genres. We welcome papers from a
wide variety of methodologies and theoretical frameworks, including
interdisciplinary research. We are also looking for contributions that
offer, or help develop, new linguistic tools for LSP practitioners
such as IT applications for LSP teaching and learning, databases,
ontologies, term extractors, and other linguistic resources that can
be of use to professional language users.<br /><br />Possible
