Isi artikel

This article explores discourse and the business relationship at meetings attended by participants who come from a variety of cultures and use English as a common language. It shows how the analysis of selected linguistic features can be related to Goffman's (1974, 1981) notion of frames and participation frameworks, providing a richer analysis. Data for the study are audio recordings of an Italian company's meetings of its international distributors, attended by distributors from 12-15 countries, company members and occasional outside participants. After briefly describing the rationale for investigating selected categories of linguistic features, the article uses data extracts to illustrate the analysis and to show how language use by participants reflects and construes the business relationship. This relates to roles at the meeting as well as outside of the meeting, and it raises issues concerning elements of corporate culture and other levels of culture.
