Minding Your (Business) Language

Global Business

Available for over a year

A look at how business is subverting the English language to forward its own ends. Experts believe the use of jargon inside modern companies is an attempt to control over the movements of others. Often jargon can be an attempt to disguise negative events but the weird language of business may end up backfiring on those that use it. Presenter: Peter Day.
