ENLanguage is a means of communication in a society. Communication language is used to pass and receive information while both the receiver and the conveyor are participating. So language - based communication is at the same time communication between or among people. Only existing language makes the totality of its existence (location and non - location based, the concept also includes standard language as well as social - classical language forms). The variety of language forms in a society is characterized not only by its social but by its functional aspect too, i. e. prior language commonality ties are supplemented and conditioned by a certain sphere, where this particular form is in existence, e. g. dialect. The separation of social and functional forms or linguistic elements is often so interwoven that there is an assumption to discuss their social functioning distribution. Language politics be understood as total two - way process, including speakers linguistic orientation, language and reasoning process or linguistic activity. These processes result a certain utterance expressing certain information, which is both grammatically and socially correct. In order to find out the use of business language among the staff as well as KTU Panevėžys Institute students we conducted a sociolinguistic research. The questionnaires were distributed among the 1 year students, prior to professional language course offered for senior students. We focused on business terminology used by the staff, teaching business related courses.
