Abstract:

This book presents twelve papers on the use of Languages for Specific Purposes
(LSPs) throughout history. From Antiquity to the present time, contributors
analyse how LSPs emerged both in Europe and in other parts of the world, such
as Judea, North America, and China. The historical aspect of LSPs has
generally not been studied in depth, despite being part of the global
understanding of the phenomenon. All aspects of professional life are tackled
in this book, including administration, commerce, diplomacy, medicine, legal
studies, geography, sociology, mathematics and history. 

This volume will naturally appeal to historians but also to linguists,
sociologists, and anyone interested in languages used in a professional
context. It offers a better understanding of where LSPs come from, how they
emerged and how they tend to become real specialties in the teaching of modern
languages.
