Uses a range of analytic techniques to examine corporate discourse in many different forms.

Corporate discourse examines business communication practices from a discourse perspective, looking in detail at the ways in which corporations around the world communicate with individuals, with other collective entities and with the world at large. It is concerned with understanding how language works in business contexts and how corporate identity and personal and professional relationships are configured through discourse. Using a range of analytical techniques to examine different forms of textual evidence from companies operating in many sectors, this book maps out current developments in corporate discourse against the complex background of globalization.

"Corporate Discourse offers a motivating introduction of different areas of business communication in today’s world, and can be used as a starting point to explore some areas introduced by the author ... It is, no doubt, a comprehensive account of some discursive interactions in today’s firms." - Iberica, Vol. 29

"The author transcends the traditional, neutral envisaging of business genres and texts as the products of a discursive community to be mastered by newcomers ... In contrast she pushes us researchers and educators out of our comfort zone to tackle the analysis of those genres and texts as sets of social practices, which are not limited to those very genres and texts, but which include new complex realizations that are also conceived as part of the corporate discourse system, in all its complexity and power of reverberation and regeneration." - Revista de Lenguas para Fines Específicos
