Summary/Abstract: As a means of communications in society the language generally represents a complex reality that may be conceptualized in various ways as it is differently approached. Besides all the other definitions it’s worth mentioning the one that considers the language a system of variants typical to certain regions or social and professional groups of people, with interference and juxtaposition areas enabling the speakers to communicate. The term special language with different meanings tightly connected to the concept of language is used alternatively with style/ functional language specific to different activity fields, supporting the specialty communication. Every functional language /style (artistic, scientific, publicist, administrative) has got many characteristic features such as: the words and special phrases and the specific linguistic organizing rules imposed by the particular communication needs. Nowadays the very fast and wide spread phenomena need development and diversification of the scientific languages as a consequence of the spectacular progress of these activity fields.
