This paper compares the communication strategies used by representatives of two generations of French scientists (pre- and post-Communicative Language Teaching) in the writing of research articles to be published in specialised anglophone journals. Beyond traditional errors in lexis and syntax, the focus is on those communication strategies that may be attributable to two fundamentally different attitudes towards foreign language learning: using the language precisely as a tool to meet the requirements of a specific task only (a sort of "use-and-forget" attitude), or taking advantage of all possible situations to try to expand one's resources with a view to improving one's overall performance in the use of the language. The paper looks particularly at some aspects of the treatment by the two groups of the relationships between general argumentative language and hard-core mathematical language in the form of equations and formulae.
