Abstract:

This volume brings together a selection of papers originally presented at the 
Language for Specific Purposes Symposium which took place in Bergamo, 
Italy from 29 August to 2 September, 2005. In selecting from papers on 
specialized discourse presented at this conference, the editors have tried to 
create a thematic unity by grouping the papers according to four disciplinary 
areas: academic and scientific discourse, business discourse, institutional 
discourse, and legal discourse. Within these fields, a diversity of approaches 
has been maintained in order to represent the eclectic nature of studies in 
specialized discourse as they are carried out today. 

It is no coincidence that the papers fall into these four areas, as these are 
fields with a very international dimension and hence the use of English, as 
the increasingly global language, is naturally very important. Indeed, all the 
papers included in this publication are in English and mainly focus on 
English. On the other hand, the contributors to this volume come from a 
range of different countries and mother tongues. This diversity represents 
the international interest in English as a language of specialized discourse 
and communication.
