Publisher's Synopsis
This volume draws together various strands of research and teaching related to language and economics. The key paper is that of Professor McCloskey, an economist who has criticized the evidence of economics writing in his book "The Rhetoric of Economics". The other papers develop McCloskey's ideas through the application of methods of discourse and genre analysis. Other contributions to the volume evaluate experiments in economics teaching at secondary and tertiary level to both non-native and native-speakers. This volume exemplifies a model of inter-disciplinary study that deserves imitation in other areas of ESP.
