Fachsprache Französisch – facettenreich, faszinierend, funktional

Overview & Synopsis

This volume offers a scholarly investigation of French for Specific Purposes (FSP), addressing the phenomenon in its linguistic diversity, discursive functionality, and disciplinary relevance. The contributions examine the specialised use of French from both theoretical and applied perspectives, engaging with key domains such as terminology, stylistics, professional communication, corpus analysis, didactics, and translation studies. By foregrounding the particularities of French within the broader field of specialised language research—a domain historically dominated by English—the volume aims to strengthen the academic visibility of French and to stimulate renewed inquiry into its structures and functions. Drawing on a range of disciplinary perspectives and methodological approaches, the volume provides valuable insights for researchers in applied linguistics, translation studies, language pedagogy, and Romance languages, as well as for professionals engaged in specialised communication and academic discourse.
