Business modelling is needed in order to highlight the essentials of businesses when developing information systems. Patterns of inter-related speech acts are the basis for identifying essentials in Language/Action-oriented approaches for business modelling. Weigand et al. has made an attempt to conceptualise the notion of patterns in a layered architecture founded in such approaches. In this paper we present a framework of generic layered patterns for business interaction inspired by a critical examination of Weigand's meta-pattern framework. Our framework of interdependent layers of generic patterns can be used to describe and understand short-termed as well as long-termed business interaction. The five layers of generic patterns are business act as the basic unit of analysis, action pair, exchange, business transaction, and transaction group.
