Abstract
The paper starts from the early stages of initiation to special languages and goes through its main stages, then focusing on the analysis of the multi-level study book Lo stivale di moda (Filippone, Radicchi 2014), primarily aimed at foreign learners who want to learn or deepen their knowledge of the language of fashion. Lo stivale di moda is analyzed according to two different but intertwined perspectives: the glottodidactic perspective, in order to assess whether the study book responds, in its entirety and in its acquisition units, to the didactic programming of special languages and to the needs of adult learners; and according to the linguistic perspective, with a specific attention to the lexical level, in particular to the technical words, to the foreign words and to the words formed through the derivative and compositive processes of the Italian language.
