ESP: Integrating Research and Practice in Light of Contemporary Views on Language

This paper argues for an integration of research and teaching in ESP in light of contemporary views on language. Starting from semantically non transparent terminology in English specialist texts on architecture and urbanism, the corpus-based analysis points out the major role of the context as a cognitive mechanism in the conceptualization within a domain of specialized knowledge, which is reflected in the semantic profiling and terminological creativity predominantly influenced by the interdisciplinary character of ESP. Interdisciplinarity is here presented as a rich vein of research tradition in the field while in the analysis it is illustrated through various interdisciplinary influences on the semantic space of the specialist discourse and its terminology. The need for an integration of research and teaching practice is seen as a necessary prerequisite for the development of an effective teaching strategy as well as the future development of the discipline.
