  Abstract:  

The Features of English for Tourism Purposes. The present study has been undertaken with the purpose of locating the language variety called English for Tourism (EFT) within the broader frameworks of both tourism and special languages. The study further seeks to explain the domain-related complexity and the linguistic ’densness’ that characterises this language variety, to touch upon issues like fuctional and rhetorical peculiarities, and address a few distinctive features of the language of tourism, ie features which make this language a ’special’ language. This study provides tourism-specific examples to substantiate these points.

 

Keywords: specialised languages, English for Tourism, language functions, lexical features, distinctive features.
