FACHSPRACHE - International Journal of Specialized Communication is a refereed international journal that publishes original articles on all aspects of specialized communication and provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and teachers interested in this field.

FACHSPRACHE is committed to promoting high-quality research and to improving specialized communication and knowledge transfer including the qualifications required for this. The journal places equal emphasis on rigour and comprehensibility in an attempt to bridge the gap between researchers who may come from different disciplines but who share a common interest in specialized communication. These disciplines may range from linguistics, psychology, lexicography, terminology, and translation studies to the neurosciences as well as domains such as business administration, economics, law, medicine, science and engineering. Special issues focusing on particular individual areas are published regularly.
