Beschreibung
This book is a key reference for the study of English for Architecture. One of its main contributions is its methodology based on a purpose-made corpus. The study defines the character of Architecture language based on word-formation, loanwords and semantics, revealing a language as creative and varied as the very discipline it represents.
