First, the question what was understood as 'science' through time and how it is named in different languages, especially the Classical ones, is approached. Criteria for what did pass as scientific are found that point to 'science' as a kind of Greek Denkstil based on pattern-finding and their unbiased checking. In a second part, a brief diachronic panorama introduces schools of thought and authors who wrote in Latin from antiquity to the present. Latin's heydays in this function are clearly the time between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries. Some niches where it was used longer are examined and reasons sought why Latin finally lost this lead-role. A third part seeks to define the peculiar characteristics of scientific Latin using corpus linguistic approaches. As a result, several types of scientific writing can be identified. The question of how to transfer science from one linguistic medium to another is never far: Latin inherited this role from Greek and is in turn the ancestor of science done in the modern vernaculars. At the end of the study, the importance of Latin science for modern science in English becomes evident. 410 0$aLingua Academica 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / General$2bisacsh 610 $aLatin science. 610 $acorpus-linguistics. 610 $alanguages of science. 610 $asemantics of science. 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / General. 700 $aRoelli$b Philipp, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01223530 712 02$aSchweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996449435103316 996 $aLatin as the Language of Science and Learning$92839098 997 $aUNISA
