THE DIPLOMATIC DOCUMENTS AS THE FUNCTIONING OF THE GERMAN PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE OF DIPLOMACY

Summary/Abstract: The professional language of diplomacy develops in its main sources - international and intergovernmental agreements, statutes and other official documents. Using of the terminology vocabulary helps deliver the recipient relevant information as accurate as possible. The terminological vocabulary in the official documents enhances the effects of severity, formality, stereotype and brevity. The terminological vocabulary of diplomacy creates a style typical for drafts of official documents and improves unambiguous understanding and interpretation of certain concepts. The diplomatic documents are one of the main sources of replenishment of the diplomatic vocabulary. The professional language of diplomacy is also a set of special terms and phrases that generally creates the world’s diplomatic vocabulary. In this sense the language of diplomacy is as specific and professional as, for example, the language of a doctor, a lawyer and so on. Every diplomat clearly interprets and actively uses such concepts and terms (including the ones that came in a modern language from Latin) as pacta sunt servant, modus vivendi, veto, kalter Krieg (cold war) and others. However, in modern diplomatic correspondence it is not accepted to abuse specificity of the diplomatic language, the openness of the modern diplomacy and presumption of a broad disclosure are considered, and hence the availability of the document being developed. It should be noted that the German language plays a special role in the world politics, as well as in the diplomatic sphere, since it is often used as language intermediary in the communication of different cultures.
