The eighth volume of 'The Paolo Baffi Library: Collections and Studies' series, published today, is dedicated to the language of Economics in Italy.
This work provides an overview of the language of economics through a broad selection of contributions and studies, including studies devoted to the linguistic aspects of the Bank of Italy’s Annual Reports and, above all, the Governor's Concluding Remarks. The aim of the work is twofold: on the one hand, it gives an outline of the language of economics, with accounts of its more general and common features and of its many varieties, both from a historical perspective and in comparison with other special languages; on the other hand, it gives insights into the development and communicative capacity of the language, drawing on the Annual Reports and the Governor’s Concluding Remarks as a case study.
