In the last few decades, the field of speci alised language s (LSP) has attracted increasing attention no t only as a discipline in itself but also as a multidisciplinary area which feeds from and serves ot her rel ated disciplines. This collection of articles, edited by Vijay Bhat ia, Purificación Sánchez Hernández and Pascual Pérez-Paredes, offers a varied and rich perspective on LSP with the insight of corpus analysis and discourse and genre analysis, among others. The volume represents a welcome and relevant contribution to the study of a wide range of topics within the domain of LSP, from micro-genres such as conference abstracts to the meta-analysis of the lexico-grammar of specialised discourses.
