Abstract

This study examines the communicative-pragmatic characteristics of diplomatic texts through the lens of pragmatic linguistics. Drawing on speech act theory and discourse analysis, the research investigates how informativeness, conventionality, and persuasiveness function as key pragmatic categories in English-language diplomatic correspondence. The study positions verbal diplomatic contexts within the broader framework of institutional communication, highlighting the role of strategic language use in achieving diplomatic goals. Grounded in the theoretical contributions of Russian, Uzbek, and international scholars in pragmatics and text linguistics, the analysis focuses on how senders construct messages to inform, persuade, and maintain institutional relationships with addressees. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the pragmatic mechanisms that underpin diplomatic discourse, with implications for both linguistic theory and diplomatic practice.
