Abstract

[Ita:]Il presente articolo mira a fornire un'analisi delle strategie linguistiche e retoriche condivise e utilizzate nel discorso della rendicontazione economico-finanziaria in ambito aziendale, rappresentata dalle CEO's letters e dai Chairmen' Statements, per indirizzare e successivamente convincere il destinatario della pertinenza (relevance) e veridicità (reliability) delle informazioni fornite. Tre sono le strategie linguistiche e retoriche analizzate: enumeration, recapitulation e validation.
