NEGOTIATING MEANING IN TECHNICAL DISCOURSE

Andrea Peterlicean and Arina Modrea

Business&Leadership, 2010, vol. 3, issue 2, pages 85-90

Abstract: One of the functions of language is to exchange information within a given community of users. Thus, the process of communication takes language users through a complex process that starts with the perception of entities from the surrounding world and continues with a negotiation of meaning. This paper highlights some considerations about how representations of entities are reflected in language use.
