This study provides information on the state of the art of the language used for disseminating statistics in Europe by means of a corpus of English National Statistical Yearbooks of EU member countries and Eurostat(ENSY). The study proposes an investigation on the language of statistics so far little explored but topical, due to the wide use of statistics in many fields (e.g. economics, social phenomena, lifestyles, policies etc.).
