Linguistic Features of Business English. Definition of Business English Business English is a special term given to English by nonEnglish speaking nations for international trade. It is usually called business English, Business Correspondence or Business Letter in the USA. In Britain, it is often called Commercial English or Commercial Correspondence or Commercial Letter. Business English refers to the English used in business correspondence and activities.
