Business and Professional Communication Quarterly

Almost every issue of the ABCA Bulletin and of the Journal of Business Communication explores problems concerning people for whom English is a native language.

The area considered here is that of business communication involving people whose lives are influenced by the society and culture of the continental United States but whose native languages are other than English.
