| Description | English of economics/business is characterised by quite a significant degree of polysemy and synonymy in naming of economic concepts, which is undesirable in terms of avoiding referential inaccuracy. The lecture suggests approaches which enable to convey and understand the intended meaning more clearly with the help of analysis of different types of context and co-text. |
