Description:
Specialised discourse is shaped by the discursive practices of
professional discourse communities which share a culturally defined kind of
specialized group knowledge.
The aim of this seminar is to explore the
generic structure, rhetorical conventions and linguistic practices of various
specialised discourses, such as academic, technical, legal, as well as the emergence
of new forms and conventions under the influence of the use of English as the
international language of professional communication and the spread of new
communication technologies.
