This subject provides a theoretical and practical reference framework within professional and specialised English, whilst considering its importance and its social diversity. Using discourse and genre analysis, in addition to lexicology applied within these domains, the most significant linguistic traits of specialised English will be analysed and explained. Students will also learn how to identify research aims, develop a wide range of search skills and work with specialised databases. In addition, the materials and techniques required to study this domain and be productive within this field of Applied Linguistics will be provided.
