Abstract

Business Actors communicate to audiences via the mass media through public statements or informal interviews with journalists. This information is directly quoted in news stories about financially significant events. The motivation for speaking to the mass media varies from job role to job role, and therefore the vocabulary of a job role and the delivery of the information to the press varies also. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis using lexical bundles and sentimental lexical bundles to discover the common vocabulary of four selected job roles: Analyst, CEO, CFO and Economist, and their similarity with other job roles. This work demonstrates that the CEO job role makes ample use of highly positive repetitive lexical bundles, whereas the Economist holds a unique role where it has a vocabulary with less of a positive skew and few shared lexical bundles with other job roles.
