Download or read book The Business of Words written by Crispin Thurlow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business of Words examines the practices of ‘high-end’ language workers or wordsmiths where we find words being professionally designed, institutionally managed, and, inevitably, objectified for status and profit. Aligned with existing work on language and political economy in critical sociolinguistics and discourse studies, the volume offers a novel, complementary insight into the relatively elite practices of language workers such as advertisers, dialect coaches, publishers, judges, translators, public relations officers, fine artists, journalists, and linguists themselves. In fact, the book considers what academics might learn about language from other wordsmiths, opening a space for ‘dialogue’ between those researching language and those who also stake a claim to linguistic expertise and a way with words. Bringing together an array of leading international scholars from the cognate fields of discourse studies, sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology, this book is an essential resource for researchers, advanced undergraduate, and postgraduate students of English language, linguistics and applied linguistics, communication and media studies, and anthropology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies have shown that 90% of all online businesses fail within the first four months of starting. This is a pretty disheartening statistic, right? If you want to do everything in your power to be among the 10% who succeed, keep reading... THIS IS NOT A DICTIONARY. If that's what you're looking for, I urge you to save your money and not buy this book. Now...congratulations. With the click of a finger, you've implanted a thought into your subconscious mind that you won't ever let yourself be part of the majority that fail, part of those stuck in the hamster wheel. You've let yourself know that you're determined to execute your business plans. You've probably heard the saying 'knowledge is power'. Right? Wrong! Applied knowledge is power. Knowledge is only as powerful as the holder, just as a blade is only as dangerous as the one who wields it. Many aspiring entrepreneurs end up spending money on 'educating themselves' buying books, high ticket online courses, and going to seminars but never actually apply what they learn. Some don't even educate themselves at all. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Success will not come. Just like most entrepreneurs, I didn't go to university to study business. During my early years forming my start-up businesses, I struggled immensely with fully understanding business lingo and key terminology. There's nothing more embarrassing than not knowing key business terminology, not being able to express yourself professionally in business meetings or negotiations, not knowing the correct language to use at crucial turning points and still thinking you're a 'business owner'. I sought understanding and the appropriate knowledge needed to become a professional. I took business very seriously; if I wanted to be successful, I would need all the advantages I could get. I wanted to fix my intellectual blind spots, as I knew this was an advantage my competitors had over me. As an entrepreneur, we are problem solvers, right? So, I slowly built a mind map of all the business phrases that kept creeping up in conversations, meetings, podcasts and online courses. Business Vacbulary will enable you to...
