Abstract
Vague language, as a strategy by which speakers reduce the force of their utterance, is a phenomenon shared by most languages. People have many beliefs about language. An important one is that good use of language involves clarity and precision. Vague language is not totally accurate or clear. Speakers use vague language when they are unable or unwilling to give accurate information, or they think it is either unnecessary or socially inappropriate to do so. Vague language plays an unexpected and positive role in international business negotiations. Business negotiation is different from common communication; both parties don’t want to share their information frankly, thus the language used sometimes should be implicit. In order to make the deal or let the negotiation go on smoothly, both parties have to try their best to carry on the negotiation politely. This article mainly introduces the vagueness of language, its functions and the methods to promote functions of applying vague language in business negotiation. As problems and cultural differences exist in business negotiations, it is necessary to select an appropriate language and take practical measures for the smooth exchange of vague language to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Negotiating with others has been an important part of international business activities. Business negotiation is just a very small part of it, which is a process for businessman to arrive at an agreement through series of activities, involving information exchange, mediation, bargains and so on. In order to state our views, to make requests and suggestions and to create a good environment, we often make good use of vague language in international competition. |
