Summary/Abstract: In the everyday world of the 21st century, knowledge explosion and information expansion are taking place: the average person has never been confronted with so much specialized content, and society has never been so strongly influenced by technical innovations and digitalization. Kirsten Adamzik speaks about a "scientification of society or the influence of technical languages on the common language." This paper aims at investigating linguistic expressions that help communicate specialized knowledge to a broad heterogeneous audience. To illustrate this, journalistic texts from ADZ für Rumänien are used, which offer information about the vaccination campaign against coronavirus and present it in an understandable way. The theoretical basis of the work consists of the principles of comprehensible technical communication, and the analysis focuses on morpho-syntactic, lexical and pragmalinguistic level.
