Over the last twenty five years, much has been achieved by approaching the language of economics from different perspectives, from applied linguistics (Swales 1981, 1990; Hoey 1983) to literary theory, critical hermeneutics and the sociology of science.

The second level concerns economics writing as the discourse of practitioners who establish specialist vocabularies and technical conventions. Excerpt from Preface
