This paper explores the contributions of a socio-semiotic approach (Halliday, 1978) to the studies of expertise in translation (Dimitrova, 2005). More specifically it analyses the textual production concerning the expert character of translators. It shows how the meaning produced collectively by translator and researcher are the language base of expertise (Matthiessen, 1998).
