Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on language variety in cross-cultural business contexts. It analyzes different speech patterns which reveal disparities between linguistic styles and shape divergent profiles. The first part discusses language features of high- and low-context communication, as well as the biased attitudes arising in cross-cultural exchanges. The second part concentrates on language as a vehicle for expressing gender distinctions, providing a useful radiography of men’s and women’s modes of discourse.
