Specialized texts How do we identify them? –External parameters (elements of the communication process) –Internal parameters (formal structure; knowledge structure; linguistic structure) Cabré, Terminology and Specialized Communication

External Parameters A specialized text must be written by a specialist Those who want to translate specialized texts should get familiar with their specialized context, and should know the domain conventions and lexical/structural peculiarities

Internal Parameters Formal structure Knowledge structure Linguistic structure: Morphological level Lexical level Syntactic level Textual level Specialized texts are precise, more concise, and more systematic. Precision is a relevant feature. Only experts can control it.
