Part C: Financial Language—Expressions from the Textbooks

Steve Hart ()

Chapter Chapter 3 in A Student’s Guide to the Language of Finance, 2023, pp 87-123 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The language employed in textbooks and in academic papers is an obvious area that will require much study and diligenceDiligence if English is not your first language. This section, laid out in a clear A–Z format, contains academic terms that occur frequently in formal written texts. The expressions have been chosen based on frequency, their value to a student of the subject, and potential level of difficulty (standard and obscure terms being omitted). They were extracted from a corpus comprising more than 100 graduate essays, 250 academic journal articles and 15 general textbooks on business, finance, and banking. The examples have been heavily revised from the source material to leave just their essence.
