Summary/Abstract: The Romanian shipbuilders’ use of English on a daily basis in multicultural environments, such as Damen Shipyard Romania, allowed business terms to develop as an important part in the naval architecture language, both spoken and written. The present paper aims at identifying the most common business words encountered in shipbuilding documents by Damen Shipyard Romania and their possible equivalents, if any. The Romanian naval architects’ tendency to keep the original form of the English element or the adaptation of the English word to the phonetic, orthographic and morphological characteristics of Romanian is also illustrated in this paper. The data collected and analyzed in this paper can be used to predict a pattern followed by Romanian naval architects when dealing with business English in their field.
