Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with an interdisciplinary field situated between economy and linguistics, namely that of the economics of language. It examines the language exchanges between companies and economy by approaching some of the major issues of communication in a professional context. The latest evolutions recorded in the current economic world have deeply changed the way the companies communicate internally and externally, thus influencing the relationships between the actors of professional communication and language. We try to analyse hereby the link between the two fields of research and to present also some aspects of the language economy in a few companies operating in Romania and in a few other countries. Our conclusions attempt to show that language skills can get a high economic value.
