This article addresses morphosyntactic stylistic elements as the main characteristics of highly specialized texts, i. e. scientific, technical, and legal normative texts as indicators of the constructive capacity of a primary language. The global-local ambivalence is illustrated using the example of the German-Slovenian language pair, in which both specialized language systems follow global text production tendencies (a lingua franca) in order to optimize the transfer of knowledge. The primary (local) language system puts the globally valid system of logical argumentation with its common stylistic characteristics (linguistic economy and abstract terminology) into effect through individual and culturally specific use of stylistic devices. Deviations from the conventional syntactic structures characterizing highly specialized languages indicate a partially limited production capacity in the grammar of a primary language system and a largely culturally specific use of uniform linguistic and stylistic norms, in keeping with the relevant cultural tradition.
