Evoluzione linguistica ed esattezza. Una riflessione sul valore dei linguaggi specialistici nellʼacquisizione terminologica e linguistica in Lingue Applicate
Linguistic Evolution and Accuracy. Considerations Regarding the Value of Specialized Languages in Terminological and Linguistic Acquisition in Applied Languages

Summary/Abstract: Specialized languages constitute both a challenge and a frontier for language evolution. Confronted on the one side with the need for precision and exactness, on the other with the necessity of being comprehensible for a large public and for financial institutions, these particular linguistic areas are nowadays reconsidered in their general context. Furthermore, their evolutions seem more and more conditioned by extra-linguistic factors. This implies a reflection, by the teachers of modern applied languages, on how specialized and common languages deal with one another and in which ways these two areas could be taught to students. This article analyses the positive contributions of the study of specialized languages to more general linguistic skills such as exactness and accuracy in translation, precision in the use of linguistic expressions and, more generally, the development of a more clear and organized structure of mind.
