Euphemisms and Idioms Cropping up in Business Rhetoric

A careful understanding of the linguistic aspects of business interactions has to do with a good knowledge of euphemistic and idiomatic expressions which often crop up in corporate communication.The paper is designed with two purposes in mind.First, it attempts to provide an analysis of numerous verbal softeners (euphemisms) in terms of length, structure, and function, with important implications for business vocabulary expansion.Second, it aims to classify native language idioms and set phrases according to the area of usage.Thus, the outcome of my research is to enhance familiarity with informal, nonstandard forms of communication focused on contextual business factors and offer more flexibility in unblocking miscommunication.The results indicate that gaining an insight into the meanings of euphemisms and idioms can enable interlocutors to use them accurately in respective business settings.

Abstract

A careful understanding of the linguistic aspects of business interactions has to do with a good knowledge of euphemistic and idiomatic expressions which often crop up in corporate communication.The paper is designed with two purposes in mind.First, it attempts to provide an analysis of numerous verbal softeners (euphemisms) in terms of length, structure, and function, with important implications for business vocabulary expansion.Second, it aims to classify native language idioms and set phrases according to the area of usage.Thus, the outcome of my research is to enhance familiarity with informal, nonstandard forms of communication focused on contextual business factors and offer more flexibility in unblocking miscommunication.The results indicate that gaining an insight into the meanings of euphemisms and idioms can enable interlocutors to use them accurately in respective business settings.
