This paper has a twofold objective. On the one hand, it tries to describe the specific linguistic
features that allow differentiation between general and specialised scientific and technical
language. On the other hand, it tries to demonstrate that the selection to a greater or lesser
extent of these linguistic features is conditioned by pragmatic factors such as users, context or
purpose, resulting in a wide range of degrees of speciality which suggests the existence of a
linguistic continuum between specialised and non-specialised. To carry out such a study, two
publications with different level of specialisation have been analysed, one from a chemical
journal and the other one, from a popular science magazine and both of them dealing with the
same scientific event. The results obtained validate the initial hypotheses since they show that
the linguistic and structural features modify the communicative and discursive function of a
text and therefore, its degree of specialisation. At the same time, results also prove that
although texts can be classified by the differences in the degree of speciality, it is impossible
to establish a clear separation between them. [-]
