Goals

The main goal of IULMA is to systematize and to disseminate the knowledge of modern languages (or specialized discourses) applied to the fields of industry, sciences and technologies, law, health sciences etc.

Besides, IULMA aims to spread the knowledge and research on specialized languages in the different fields that could be interested in them: the professional and academic sector or the general public. The professional, or language through which experts communicate, is the one used, for instance, in articles or scientific symposia; the academic, however, consists of transmitting knowledge within university lecture halls, with the corresponding interaction between lecturers and students; and the general is the one used to communicate information to the general public.
