Abstract
Lingua franca business communication takes place when people of diverse linguistic backgrounds do business. It is used both to coordinate such activities as people management, accounting, and marketing in multinational corporations and to carry on the business of buying, selling, and negotiating in international networks. Typically, English as a business lingua franca (BELF) is the language emerging in such encounters. The study of business lingua franca communication uses a range of methodologies and theoretical frameworks drawing on applied linguistics and sociolinguistics. These studies investigate communicative practices such as emails and meetings carried out by internationally operating practitioners working with their colleagues and business partners. Since the context is essential for business communication, ethnographically-informed studies including practitioners' perceptions are in use. The findings have various implications for teaching and pedagogy.
