  • Summary

    Language and communication play critical roles in the process of entrepreneurship and are at the heart of a so-called entrepreneurial skillset. To succeed, entrepreneurs need to have efficient communication skills on the one hand, and language awareness and discursive consciousness on the other. This chapter sets out to lay out the current state of research that addresses the role of language and communication in entrepreneurship and published in major entrepreneurship publication outlets written by entrepreneurship scholars. This review demonstrates that despite studying questions related to language and communication, there seems to be no or very little cross-fertilization between entrepreneurship scholarship and disciplines concerned with language, communication and/or discourse. We also provide a case study based on a specific area of entrepreneurial activity: crowdfunding. We hope this chapter will inspire linguists who scrutinize entrepreneurial interactions to be mindful of entrepreneurship theories and the specific contexts of the industry.
