Abstract

In the article, the author claims that in the modern world and in Ukraine, the issue of using the language of diplomacy is extremely relevant, but the role of this field in interstate relations has been known since ancient times. The study analyzed more than 120 terms of diplomatic language. The diplomatic understyle is used in the field of interstate official business relations. The language of diplomatic documents should be simple and concise, without epithets and comparisons, but sometimes artistic images or References: to historical facts of another country are used. The text of a diplomatic appeal must precisely correspond to its semantic load. The author briefly examines the history of the formation of diplomatic terminology, and also examines the terminological system of the diplomatic sub-style, as it is the main informative layer of the vocabulary that is still being formed. The phenomenon that the diplomatic terminological system has a large number of international words (for example, from Latin, Greek, German, French, English languages) is considered in detail, as this speaks of modern trends of international cooperation. One of the important characteristics of the term, which the author of the article draws attention to, is that it must have a clear, unambiguous understanding, the terms of diplomacy must denote the same phenomenon, and he also provides definitions of the term in different languages ​​to illustrate this. The study determined that there are two types of terms (one-word terms (consul, attache, repatriation, etc.) and compound ones (international agreement, verbal note persona non grata, etc.)), the emphasis is on the fact that phrase-terms predominate. The prospect of continuing the research in the future is also outlined.
