Economic Growth and Decline in the Mirror of Verbs

Hospodářský růst a pokles v zrcadle sloves

Acta Oeconomica Pragensia, 2008, vol. 2008, issue 3, 120-125

Abstract: Verbs expressing economic growth and decline are an important part of business language. The rules for their semantic connectability are hard to determine, even for native speakers. Partial rules for the use of some of them are formulated in this article. A lot of the metaphorically used verbs are not to be found in our dictionaries. They appear in the business language, especially for stylistic reasons.

Keywords: business language; verbs of growth and decline; rules of their use (search for similar items in EconPapers)
