I need publications (books or articles) related to my questions. Specialized Language is a new trend in linguistics. It focus is Terminology, indeed. I would suggest a theoretical frame of specialized language discourse that would open the gate to specialized language discourse analysis. Yet, I have not got any previously published work in the field. this would support the originality of my research.
Hello, what specialized language do you mean? — Do you mean terminological studies?
As a guess, I was thinking of English for Specific Purposes, which sends us to various discourses of science, technology, religion, business, etc. Is my guess good?
Hi, I don't know if these contributions may help:

I am working on Understanding Specialized Language Discourse illustrated by the English Tense System Discourse, taken for Linguists' Specialized Language Discourse. It is Terminology-referred specialized language (see Cabré, 2003, Pamela,F. and C.I. Lopez-Rodriguez, 2012) The research is Discourse Analysis-oriented. Then I wonder whether Specialized Language Discourse is spoken out. I have suggested the term that I consider to be a new discursive genre in DA, yet I have not any reference to support my designation. I am completing the correction of my Ph D dissertation, which I would like to successful and brightful.
I thank the three respondnets for the interest and their spontaneity. I am stiil in the need.
Thank you very much for your explanation, Dilubenzi. And what do you research exactly? —
I am concluding my research on understanding Specialized Language Discourse. In many of colleagues course contents on ESP I notice that they often limit to terms definition rather than taking in account contexts of use. This is to me little understanding of specialized language discourse. then I thought that specialized language discourse (terlminology-referred) should be spoken of as a discourse the same way as we do for sociological/political or historical discourse (Fairclough, Van Dijk, et al.). In EAP teaching, specialized language (as a linguistic trend) should be distanced from ESP that many still confuse with specialized language. Understanding is another problem, the key one, even. There is not any appropriate cognitive tool that would help understanding specialized language discourse, then I suggest 'the Language Access Theory (LAT) (my MA thesis), completed by specific metacognitive strategies, to solve the problem of specialized language discourse undeerstanding.
If you read Russian: Суперанская А.В., Подольская Н.В., Васильева Н.В. Общая терминология: Вопросы теории. (Superanskaya A.V., Podolskaya N.V., Vasilyeva N.V. General Terminology: Theoretical Issues. Six stereotypical editions, from 1989 to 2018) The same authors are well-known specialists in onomastics.
Thank you. I am trying to get in touch. I haven't read any of that littérature. I Hope itxill help.
Thank you again dear Sergey Goraev. Your references have been of great contribution. They allowed me read many other scientists in the field among whom are Elena N. Malyuga et al. (2020). I am partially satisfied the way they specified professional discourses, but I am afraid as professional discourse includes specialists and non-specialists language use (Luca Aliona, 2019:2) quoting Condamines 197:171-184). Then to me, specialized language discourse is and should be strictly the discourse of specialists or scientists of appropriate scientific or technical field.
