Book Description
This volume focuses on the nature of official correspondence produced in the period after 1500, from Early Modern to nineteenth-century English. The contributions reflect the extent to which the genre is somewhat plastic in this period, gradually acquiring distinguishing conventions and protocols as the situations in which the letters themselves are encoded acquire more distinctiveness. Although correspondence has long been the object of diachronic studies, very little seems to be available as far as specialized usage is concerned, hence the specific interest in letters exchanged within scientific, diplomatic, and business networks. In addition, the study of business and official correspondence offered here profits from a multi-disciplinary and multi-methodological approach, as it relies on a rich array of databases and corpora of correspondence, ranging from highly specialized collections to more broadly constructed diagnostic corpora, in which correspondence is just one register or text-type. While specific attention is paid to phenomena relating to the expression of positive and negative politeness through the investigation of authentic (rather than constructed) texts, methodological issues are also taken into consideration.

Book Description
Excerpt from Business English and Correspondence: A Practical Treatise on the Methods by Which Expert Correspondents Produce Clear and Forceful Letters to Meet Modern Business Requirements The business letter is the backbone of modern business. In many familiar instances it has entirely supplanted the traveling sales-man and the house-to-house canvasser; in other cases, it effectively supplements the efforts of the personal salesman by introductory letters and "follow-ups". The perfection of the typewriter, the dictating phonograph, and the many devices for imitating typewritten letters, has made the letter at once the greatest time- and labor-saver, and the greatest business-getter, of this age of trade and industry. In consequence, a practical knowledge of correct business letter writing is a distinct and valuable business asset. A business firm is judged as much by its letters as by its clerks and salesmen. A slovenly letter is as offensive as a slovenly clerk; a discourteous letter is as objectionable, an inaccurate or ambiguous letter as dangerous, as though its statements were made orally by an employe or member of the firm. Indeed, a careless or tactless letter may prove even more prejudicial to the interests of the firm, for it constitutes a permanent record, which it may embarrass the firm to explain or defend. It should, then, be the first care of every business firm, and of every man who handles by letter his firm's affairs or his own personal business, to make certain that those letters are at once business-like in appearance, appropriate in phrasing, and accurate in statement. The matter comprised in this handbook falls under two general heads: Business English and Business Correspondence. Under the first head are treated the elements of English grammar, the proper use of words, the construction of correct sentences and paragraphs, and the ordinary values and uses of punctuation marks. Under Business Correspondence are discussed the form of the business letter, its tone and style, the preparation of different types to meet varying business conditions, and the preparation and use of "form letters." Both sections are illustrated by many examples selected from actual business practice, and are supplemented by practice exercises.
