德国专门用途语言研究发展综述

Review on the Research Development of German for Specific Purposes

作为民族共同语的一种功能变体,专门用途语言(简称专用语)在人类各知识领域和各项事业中发挥的作用举足轻重。专用语研究自形成以来逐渐有两条研究主线引人瞩目,以英语专用语为对象的英美专用语研究(ESP研究)和以德语专用语为对象的欧洲大陆专用语研究。鉴于英语在当今世界的重要地位,ESP在国内更为人所熟知。德国的专用语研究同样建树颇多,具有丰富的洞见,在国内却鲜为人知。本文以德国专用语研究发展为主线,回顾和展示其在各个不同发展阶段的主要研究对象、研究内容和研究方法,并探讨专用语研究未来的发展趋势,由此深化对专业语言现象及其研究发展路径的认识。
