This book is a synopsis of sixteen original articles on English in Science and Technology/ESP written by Rosemarie Glaeser between 1978 and 1994 and published in different countries. They cover the author's main areas of research and constitute the four parts of the book: 1. Lexicology and Phraseology; 2. Text Linguistics; 3. Stylistics, and 4. Diachronic LSP Studies. Emphasis is placed on an integrated approach to genre analysis, which is based on extensive text corpora and which results in genre profiles. Each genre profile is characterised by communicative and linguistic features, including rhetorical and also aesthetic properties. The diachronic approach is illustrated by ESP genres of the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Author: Rosemarie Glaeser was born in Dresden in 1935. She studied English and German Philology at the University of Leipzig where she also completed her doctoral and professorial theses. Her research areas include English special languages, stylistics and text linguistics; lexicology, phraseology, and onomastics. She is professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Leipzig.
