The purpose of this study is to describe the lexical variation of English language and determine how different it is from the ordinary use of English language. The theoretical framework for this study is English for Specific Purposes, with an emphasis on the need of incorporation of office language in the conventional pedagogy at academia as well as to the professionals belonging to this particular workplace.
