Rather than prescribing the same old (often misconceived) advice about language use, this book encourages the reader to understand how language works, to analyse it, and to produce it in an effective and context sensitive manner. I highly recommend it to anyone studying corporate communication.

This is a vital resource book for anyone studying or teaching business communication. There is so often a gap between sensing how language works in real business contexts, and knowing how to analyse it with a view to meeting the discursive challenges of the business world. The case studies and 'over to you' sections bring the theory to life and help readers to build connections with their own experience.

A richly exemplified, comprehensive, and much-needed linguistic introduction to business and corporate communication by two leading experts in the field. Highly accessible and engagingly written, it invites readers to join the authors in the joint exploration of the topic at hand.
