La adaptación de la variedad especializada desde la lingüística de variedades: bases teóricas y categoriales de la especialización y la divulgación

This article examines the adaptation of specialised variety as a linguistic process that transforms specialised texts into versions understandable to non-expert users. Its primary aim is to clarify the concepts underlying this type of variation and to explain their taxonomic and functional relationships within the framework of linguistics of varieties. Among the central questions, it seeks to determine which factors condition adaptation, how popularisation, clear communication, and plain language are interrelated, and how adaptation can be explained as a communicative and transtextual process. The study integrates theoretical models proposed by Jakobson (1975a [1960]), Genette (1982), Cassany, López and Martí (2000), Hutcheon and O’Flynn (2013), and Zamorano (2022) in order to describe adaptation as a discursive, terminological, and cognitive phenomenon. This phenomenon is articulated through mecha- nisms of re-elaboration, textualisation, and denomination.
