El papel de la lengua especializada y la terminología en la comunicación y la documentación profesionales de empresas

Abstract

This article explores the role of languages of special purposes (LSP) and terminology in professional communication and documentation in businesses. Different communication models (Hoffmann 1985; Cassany 2004; Roelke 2010 [1999]) are discussed in order to show how LSP and terminology contribute to efficient, precise and appropriate communication in a professional setting. The second part of the article demonstrates that terminology plays a pivotal role in business documentation. Finally, the reciprocal relationship between communication and documentation is also discussed.
