内容説明

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this text looks at the different types and functions of written communication in the business context, and considers how technology such as e-mail has affected communication. It discusses the social, organizational and cultural aspects of e-mail, faxes, direct mailing, and of lesser studied texts such as invitations for bids, contracts, business magazines and ceremonial speeches. The book also discusses a range of methodological approaches to the development of business writing skills, including rhetorical analysis, organizational communication analysis, social constructionism, genre analysis and survey and experimental methods.

内容説明

Writing Business: Genres, Media and Discourses offers an analysis of the genres and functions of written discourse in the business context, involving a variety of modes of communication. The evolution of new forms of writing is a key focus of this collection and is only partly attributable to the ever increasing application of technology at work. Alongside machine-mediated texts such as electronic mail and computer-generated correspondence, the contextualised analyses of both traditional genres such as facsimiles and direct mailing, and of lesser studied texts such as invitations for bids, contracts, business magazines and ceremonial speeches, reveal a rich complexity in the forms of communication evolved by organisations and the individuals who work within them, in response to the demands of the social, organisational and cultural contexts in which they operate. This rich textual variation is matched by a discussion of a range of methodological approaches to the development of business writing skills, including rhetorical analysis, organisational communication analysis, social constructionism, genre analysis and survey and experimental methods. Using authentic data and benefiting from a fresh, interdisciplinary approach, the volume will be of interest to students and researchers of business communication, Language for Specific Purposes (LSP), English for Specific Purposes (ESP), and sociolinguistics.
