Abstract:

This volume offers a collection of papers which seek to provide further 
insights into the way scientific and technical knowledge is communicated 
(i.e., written, transmitted, and translated) nowadays, not only in the academic 
sphere but also in society as a whole. Language in science has traditionally 
been valued for prioritising objective, propositional content; however, 
interpersonal and pragmatic dimensions as well as translation perspectives 
are worth exploring in order to better understand the mechanisms of 
specialised communication.

Accordingly, the contributions in this volume cover topics of special interest 
to scholars and researchers in the fields of linguistics and translation, such 
as the popularisation and transmission of scientific knowledge via ICTs; 
terminology and corpus-based studies in scientific discourse; genres and 
discourse in scientific and technical communication; the history and evolution 
of scientific language; and translation of scientific texts.
