This article describes and compares two parallel specialised corpora inthe field of organizational and managerial discourse: firstly, recordingsof a three-day workshop with clients overseas held by a large Americanmultinational consulting group, and secondly, the audio data from a seriesof in-house employee training sessions, held by the same company in NorthAmerica in webcast, audio-conferencing mode. The focus is on the role ofdiscourse, together with differences in linguistic patterns and pragmaticobjectives, which emerge in the BELF (business English as a lingua franca)intercultural context, as opposed to the mono-cultural North Americancontext, in the achievement of learning objectives and the conveyance ofprofessional knowledge and competence. The article concludes with aproposal for a model to describe these inter-relational, identity construaldynamics.
