Abstract

Business correspondence has been a subject of various advisory literatures and an object of academic writing process research for many years. With the publication of the research report “The Writing Subject”, Reinke added a relevant component to the scientific discourse on writing in the business world (Reinke 2019). Superiors who read draft texts are less perceived by the authors as help and much more as control and censorship – this can lead to a change in writing behaviour. In other words: to adapted, uncreative, externally determined letters, whose innovative power – individual originality – can no longer or does not want to develop. Reinke’s work follows Kaiser’s research (Kaiser, Brötz 2011; Kaiser 2013; Kaiser, Brötz 2015; Kaiser 2017) into the vocational training of office workers as well as Efing’s work (Efing 2015; 2017) into professional language registers. By means of a reflective grounded theory, Reinke gains interesting insights into the everyday world of writing merchants – and valuable impulses are created for the relevant training and further education.
