Part A: Financial Language—Expressions from the Media

Steve Hart ()

Chapter Chapter 1 in A Student’s Guide to the Language of Finance, 2023, pp 1-70 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The expressions used by journalists, bloggers and content creators in the financial and business fields can often be difficult to understand and interpret. Many of the terms employed by these writers are neither technical nor academic but instead a mix of slang, metaphor and idiom. Fortunately, the same phrases are used time and again. Use this section to familiarise yourself with these expressions so they are no longer a barrier to your learning and understanding. The expressions appear in sets of nine with definitions and examples provided. A short extract containing each expression is then presented with questions underneath to check understanding. Further multiple-choice questions are then posed at intervals of five sets to reinforce understanding of the terms.
