This handbook gives an overview of language for special purposes (LSP) in scientific, professional and other contexts, with particular focus on teaching and training. It provides insights into research paradigms, theories and methods while also highlighting the practical use of LSPs in concrete discourse situations. The volume is transdisciplinary oriented with a firm basis in the language sciences, including terminology, knowledge transfer, multilingual and cross-cultural exchange.

Attempts to bring together in alphabetical sequence the philosophical terms, names, and works found in the Tibbon-translation of the Moreh Nebukim, to describe some of the leading ideas of Maimonides about the terms, and to add annotations to the explanation of the terms whenever appropriate.
