Week 2: Vocabulary, Tone, and Diction / Question about vocabulary: I believe that vocabulary is very important for writing, and perfecting it is always valuable. But would business vocabulary and vocabulary for literature be the same thing?

Taking a cue from a course student's question, I would like to write some considerations regarding the matter of what he is asking about. 

Would business vocabulary and vocabulary for literature be the same thing?
It depends on the kind of literature we are talking about. There are many different kinds of "literature". Business literature for sure is referred to business words and vocabulary. In order to understand business and economic literature, we need to understand that kind of specific glossary. For instance, the words "executive summary" are referred to as a single document or the initial part of a larger business document, like a business report or a business plan. It’s used to give the reader a quick overview of the larger body of material that follows. So, when we read these kinds of words we should understand instantly the meaning of the word is referred to. If we don't know it, we have to memorise the word and its meaning to understand the whole document meaning. By business literature, we also mean the articles of journalism that concern the world of economics and finance.

Then, if, by "Literature", we mean literature in an informal colloquial signification, or fiction reading, hobby, etc. It still can be possible, because there are many novels that set their plot and characters in the business sector. For example "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a memoir book written by a former stockbroker. For sure, when we read a book like this, we have read too typical business words and slangs.
