Abstract:
The paper focuses on the corporate language used in the business environment in
Romania. English exerts the strongest influence on the Romanian vocabulary, influence
appreciated by some politicians and businesspersons as beneficial, but at the same time,
blamed by many linguists and cultural personalities. Corporate language is not a negative
phenomenon by definition. But it becomes negative when used in excess or for no reason. In
some cases, linguistic clichés turn into automatic formulas that limit thin king, while in others their
use is not necessary. Corporate language manifests as a reality today both in terms of economic
and social context in which organization evolves and as a distinct activity field of the
organization. To meet the requirements imposed once with the internationalization of economic
relations, sound professional training and a good grasp of specialized knowledge are just as
important as communication skills in foreign languages, intercultural adaptation being a natural
consequence.
