Through a series of meticulously conducted corpus-based studies, the volume explores the unique linguistic features and rhetorical strategies that characterize specialized discourses across various fields, including medicine, engineering, and the humanities. It examines key aspects such as metadiscourse markers, rhetorical structures of research articles, and the customization of vocabulary tools to enhance language learning and professional communication. By revealing patterns and trends that traditional methods might overlook, this collection offers valuable insights for scholars, educators, and practitioners, making it an essential resource for understanding and improving communication within specialized domains.
